ATrpms was one of the only repos that I always advised against
installing for usability reasons. Because of the large amount of package
replacements in AT, updating with ATrpms in yum.repos.d often causes
very invasive changes, and when things go wrong finding the issue
becomes a pain.
I don't mean to diminish the service ATrpms provides, but it is in my
opinion a fundamentally different animal from the other third party
repos. More of a community-built "service pack" than a collection of
applications.

Hopefully the two repos can at least coordinate enough that they don't
step on each other. I'm sure everyone has had the frustration with apps
such as mplayer that are in multiple repos, all packaged differently,
and all updated at different times so you wind up with crazy dependency
issues preventing regular updates and such.
