Nobody wrote so here. Quite the contrary - a lot of people are/were
expecting to do a new start with the new fedora and forget old history.
And that means working out something were multiple repositories can
coexist peacefully.
Answers like "there is no need for 3rd party repositories" do not help
at all.
I assume that's got to do with my "why you need 1000 repositories" comment
- sure, 3rd party repositories will always exist and are needed, things
like a special repos of kernel, jpackake etc for those special interest
groups are quite a different matter. What I meant by the "1000 repos"
comment is that it's just plain silly and waste of time that the same
pieces of software which basically everybody uses are
re-re-re-re-re-repackaged in various repositories just because people
can't agree on some policies.
And now I'm out of this political crap and back to doing something
hopefully remotely usefull :)
