I haven't heard such thing from Dag. I saw Dag and me talking past each other, and I saw Axel, Michael and Dag agitating. > I haven't heard from fedora.us on why its process is better, Fedora.US isn't any better or worse than Dag, Axel or Freshrpms. It is one party amongst them and many others more. It's your choice to use the repository you prefer and feel comfortable with. Fedora.Extras shall be run by RH and will primarily be derived from packages now being part of Fedora.US and other repositories. To reiterate http://fedora.redhat.com: -- begin of citation --- The Red Hat Linux Project, as this used to be called, is merging with the Fedora Linux project (http://www.fedora.us). We had so many common goals that to work apart would be a waste of effort. We have months of effort before we can have a unified infrastructure, so we still have two different web sites, two sets of documentation, and so forth, but we will be unifying our work over time. Red Hat would like to thank Fedora Linux project developers for proposing the merger and committing time to making the merger a reality. -- end of citation -- > All I hear is that fedora.us wants it one way and the rest do it > another.

RH and others currently are merging those packages from Fedora.US and from some other sites into what is supposed to become Fedora.Extras. It's up to the users to decide on using Fedora.Extra or not.
