This is good news and might shed some light on the current situation. Do you know if there is a timeframe or roadmap for this or if it still in the talks.

Still discussing things. I am deliberating not pointing you to the links respecting their choices to keep the effort more quiet although I don't necessarily think it should be private.

The yum priorities plugin is a nice feature, but shouldn't been necessary in a perfect world (isn't that the direction of Linux? :) )

Perfect world doesnt exist. All we can do is find the best way to cope up with the imperfections.

How about a large database where packagers can add their packages that they have in their repo with no dobblets allowed, everything working together? And most importantly the links to add the repos in yum.

Either the programs must respect ABI compatibility more and we can encourage a more decentralized systems or we need a centralized repository. A database of repositories is pick your poison method. If they are really not conflicting with each other they could just merge and skip the middle men.
