How is this not "trying to bolt a bunch of 3rd party stuff on to CentOS"?

And I don't agree with you that using 3rd party repositories is not
advisable. Many 3rd party repositories have very high quality
standards and many useful packages. Not using them means a lot more
work in packaging and updating that others will do for you if you use
them.
