I was referring in particular to the induced incompatibility between
Dag's repo and ATrpms. There can always be interrepo bugs, and even
within a repo itself. The stricking issue here is that the
compatibility breakage was introduces _on purpose_, not by
mistake/bug. That is a significant different issue.

Both repos are automatically active at every ATrpms user including me,
and I have a mix of alsa kernel modules from ATrpms (as I am using an
ATrpms kernel), and alsa-utils from either freshrpms or PlanetCCRMA
(whoever updated first) w/o any problems.
