heya Eric!  here's the announcement:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01924.html

so, in a nutshell, there are two options:

1) enable rpmforge, don't enable rpmforge-extras: this means that none of the 
base CentOS packages should be replaced, but you might not see all the packages 
that you expect

2) enable rpmforge, enable rpmforge-extras: you should see all the packages you 
expect, but you'll have to be explicit about overwriting some packages from 
CentOS

does that help?
