But the reason you need additional 3rd party repositories in the first
place is when the unified one has a policy that prohibits certain
packages from being there. Will that still be the case?
I meant that RPMforge is a collection of third-party repos, while RPM
Fusion will actually be a single repository.
I do not mean 'unified' as in "merged with Fedora", I meant unified as
in "one packaging policy for all the merged repos". Sorry if it's not
clear from context.
