"political" debate in the past over "mixing repositories"?

"political" debate in the past over "mixing repositories"?

Parent article: Fedora Extras available for download

"Fedora Extras are sets of packages that augment Fedora Core but do not replace Fedora Core component packages."

I liked using 3rd party repositories until I started seeing parts of Core being replaced by 3rd party packages, sometimes adding whole new dependencies or removing features that I cared about.

It's not politics. I hate politics. But I'll be using Fedora Extras.
