Same here. No conflicts existed until fedora packagers duplicated packages that already existed in well-known repositories and forked them instead of mirroring.

A cross distribution package repository is always going to be different from a distribution specific repository.

I don't see how that is relevant, given that the pre-existing repositories mostly/all have added version-specific instances for each fedora release.

Third party repositories follow their own licensing and packaging policies which are different even they target a specific distribution. This is what you fail to understand.

Could you share some amusing anecdotes about how the existing repositories refused to make these changed versions available when you tried to provide them to maintain complete compatibility?

Refer to list archives in the specific repositories or past discussions even in this list. Giving you "amusing anecdotes" isn't my job.

The reason really doesn't matter.  The effect and problems do.

The reasons do matter since you keep claiming incorrectly what it is despite being corrected.
