No it wouldn't because the reason you install something from a 3rd party repo may be precisely because its differences. Maybe it would be nice if anything incompatible had a different name - or maybe not. You can leave everyone else out of this discussion if you think about what should happen if you've installed a kernel from the centosplus repo and need its features (e.g. one of the added filesystems)to make your system work at all. Now, should some other repo's kernel automatically obsolete and replace that one just because it bumps the version number and appears in some other active repo first? Should you have to know a lot of obscure details and edit obscure files to keep this from happening?
