Seems strange that it was not possible to cooperate with Dag, which has provided many fine and high quality packages to me in the past, but it is possible to find harmony with Livna. The effect is that Livna is anointed by Redhat one-step-removed as the slightly Official vendor of Forbidden Fruit when they provide Extras .repo enabled by default... and that Dag is frozen out from Redhat's "warm" embrace.
Redhat can do what they like since it's their show, I just feel a bit sad for Dag.
