I think this issue is slowly going away. I am using many repos at once
and am constantly keeping things updated and looking for new programs to
play with. They seem to play nice together nowadays. The only issues
that I have had with the repositories with NyQuist, because there was an
issue with using him AND the kde repos. After a few months of emailing
the list, I noticed that the guy who does the NyQuist repos doesn't
really hang out on the FreshRPMs list, so I asked the KDE folks what the
issue was, emailed him in regards to it..and within 2 days, the issue
went away. :-)
