Maybe I shouldn't care, but I do. As an example, with all due respect to its  
creator, the atrpms repository holds both packages I want (unique  
functionality) and that I don't want (core replacements). Unfortunately that  
means I can never do a blind cross-the-board upgrade from all the sources I've  
identified.
