This question is in a very same vein as asking why would we have 5 major car platform manufacturers producing mutually incompatible products, which results in the duplication of the engineering efforts instead of having one worldwide meta-manufacturer, that would produce the most advanced car platforms in a truly efficient way. Do you have an answer for that already? > Problem is EPEL has become the de-facto extra repo for EL, however one > cannot have a proper desktop/workstation without Dag/RF, but combining > them causes headaches which really should not exist, it's the only > major distro out there with this problem... It would be nice to have a meta-project or a VCS to share the SPEC files in a much as it is possible, as well as to have some common packaging guidelines etc., but this is a huge administrative and coordination effort and we are all overly busy people... > Personally I was hoping an EPEL compatible build of RPMfusion, which > didn't happen.

I don't think your irony is justified. I am very sure that EPEL people are no more interested in intentionally breaking the compatibility with other repositories to cause the trouble to the users than we are. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
