ATrpms is not compatible with Fedora (despite what they claim) and using this

ATrpms overrides official Fedora RPMs and basically you end up destroying your

Well, forgive my ignorance here, but does ATrpms override any FC or FE
RPMs? If so, why?
Apart from packages that existed at ATrpms to start with there are two
other cases:
o Historically (e.g. RHL7.3 upwards) there were many bug fixes (like
the rpm rpms) required and crippled packages needed different build
options or more (non-existing) BRs to offer functionality needed by
other packages.
o Packages required for non-Fedora distributions, e.g. RHEL4 and RHEL3.
But modern Fedora has due to a faster pace in development and a richer
set of packages undone most of the issues, allowing ATrpms to reduce
the set of packages overlapping with Core.
Still some attempts to cooperate in completely reducing them didn't
get the feedback they needed, e.g. last year on fedora-devel-list
http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-devel-list/2005-December/msg01345.html
David Woodhouse for one, asked for specific examples in bugzilla. Thats
pretty good feedback to get started with.
