OK, please supply your own words. Jpackage.org has a perfectly fine

Nobody has "perfect" repositories.
Fedora copies some, but not all of those packages into a
potentially conflicting repository. Any argument so far?
You are over-simplying. Things aren't merely "copied" over as you can
read about in other mails in the thread. There are developers involved
from Red Hat and otherwise working across both these repositories. There
are frequently changes in the packages in various directions.
You did say
we learn to work with repository conflicts.
Yes, the way I deal with it is by not using any third party repositories
that conflict with the official repository or with each other.
But the point of having hardware and an operating system distribution is
to run the applications you want. What do you do when the
application(s) you want are in those third party repositories?
