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.
