That's false, ATrpms was the first repo to promote multiple repo
coexistence. In general the people that know about the repos know that
ATrpms is propably the strongest force towards cross-repo
comaptibility.

Please provide a valid example and no FUD.

That's below the belt, please give an example. ATrpms users know that
true bugs are fixed as soon as possible.

Then please keep it that way and don't spread FUD. You didn't even
check the URL of the bug reports posted in this thread, did you? What
is "supposedly-ill" in

      https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140832#c4
      http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/show_bug.cgi?id=289

The bugs was reported, identified and even fixed! And you talk about
"supposedly-ill".

Try to check the facts, don't produce FUD. You are hurting the
community.

FUD, FUD, FUD.

Which are the other ones I use? Bill Gates and George W. Bush? You are
totally insane.

You call this clam up?

You didn't write this right after coming from the pub, did you?
