Well, Fedora Extras 6 (x86_64) contained 5129 packages, which is only 300 less
than F11 stable updates.

Just want to correct you here as "no multilib" isn't true. It implemented
a whitelist, a blacklist and a multiarch depsolver, but it was decided to
turn on full *-devel multiarch pushing no earlier than during Fedora 7
development. Previously (up to and including Fedora Extras 6), only some
packages (like "wine") were pulled in via the whitelist.

These two features predate the Fedora Extras era. The post-Fedora Extras
pushscripts have been enhanced to create deltarpms
( http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/updates/11/i386/drpms/ )
including basic repo inheritance.

It's an apples vs. oranges comparison anyway.
