Wrong. The enlightenment team should submit their official package to
fedora QA for inclusion in the community's repository.
And the QA/packaging rules part is very important.
When you package in isolation your own stuff in your own repository it's
altogether too easy to miss problems a larger community will have
identified.

Wrong again. 3rd party repositories will only be necessary mainly for
packages that cannot exist in Fedora due to license or legal reasons.
This is very similar to Debian's situation.
See jpackage for java as an example of 3rd party repository that is
separate for licensing/legal reasons.
(Well even if there was no licensing issues I don't think we'd merge
with Fedora since it would leave our mdk members in the dust. Some form
of close association/affiliation would be possible however)
