The title of the article should read "How to wreck your CentOS installation by mixing various third-party repositories that don't play well together while replacing core components of your system". |

@kikinovak: I totally agree with you. Consistency is compromised when we introduce "foreign repos" into our systems. With CentOS systems, I limit my repositories to: 1. CentOS 2. EPEL 3. Pip (for python libraries) Anything beyond that introduces unnecessary consistency risk. |

Well, some of them you can mix, but only with some caution and a sensible configuration of yum-priorities, so your base packages don't get squashed. |

I don't know about the other repositories, and therefore haven't had a need for them, but thought RPM Fusion was par for the Fedora course. |

@cybertao Yes RPM Fusion has been pretty solid for Fedora. Other sites such as AtRPMs much less so. RPM conflicts are common there. |

From RPM Fusion's home page: "That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6". Since RHEL 7 has been out for almost two years, I'd consider that repository unmaintained. |
