I'd have to second this one.  I've run into dependency hell in the past
just dropping an oddball rpm in the mix.  Adding the remi repo has saved me
a few headaches.  I would suggest that if you do add the repo, leave it
disabled by default and selectively enable it via --enablerepo so that you
don't inadvertently kill half your standard packages during a future
upgrade.
