Given the amount of 3rd party repo use that most end users have now
anyway, expecting a precise binary and environment is rather tough to
begin with.
However, Fedora Extras will be built on a maintained build server so
that the binary Joe gets is the same binary you can get as well. As for
environment, again, most end-users are pulling SOME 3rd party packages
from SOMEwhere now anyway. Making it easier for YOU to match their
environment by having them all in Extras, now isn't that a BONUS?
