CentOS repos. There are others that do. Some of the repos that overwrite

Other repos in that list have been effectively unmaintained for a number
of years so they contain packages that may have severe unfixed security
vulnerabilities.
I suggest that we shouldn't use euphemisms when it's far more valuable
to come out and say it. I would certainly appreciate if the centos docs
explicitly tagged the other repos with these comments. Factual
commentary
about risks does not come anywhere close to libel...

A very old British story goes like that:
A British business man was dictating to his secretary a letter for an
incorrect business partner.
"Dear Sir
Because I am a gentleman and my secretary is a lady, I cannot express in
words what I think about you. However since you are neither one, I am
sure you will understand what I wanted to say.
Your sincerely,
...."
