How about a large database where packagers can add their packages that they have in their repo with no dobblets allowed, everything working together? And most importantly the links to add the repos in yum.
Having distributed repos is a bad idea. Buildroot inconsistancies or out of dateness, different source controls, no way for the community at large to assist in other 3rd party repos, no central control over when content goes out, no control over what content goes /into/ those repos (can't reference repos at all that carry illegal (to the US) content), etc...
If the content really were compatible, they should just package it in Fedora and play in the big sandbox.
