atrpms has joined rpmrepo as well, together with some other known
repositories, mostly Enterprise Linux but also Fedora. One of the reasons
that Fedora is being followed is to prepare the repository for the next
RHEL/CentOS. So (the latest) Fedora stays fairly important.

So we will end up with either CentOS Extras+RPMforge+atrpms or
Fedora(EPEL)+rpmfusion.
