Disable the other repo?

The above lines are simply FUD IMNSHO (you wouldn't expect me to
answer otherwise, so maybe this opinion doesn't count as unbiased).

But at least the following is undisputable: Several generations of myth
users have been using ATrpms directly or indirectly (by some rebuilds
or live CDs) attesting quite a high stability mark on ATrpms' managing
of mythtv bits.

Note that anyne and his cat cat become a Fedora contributor and place
personal opinions on his page. I'm a Fedora contributor and could
theoretically be writing anything I'd like under
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AxelThimm, and the Fedora Project did
ask the author of the above page to mark his statements with being his
personal opinion and not the Fedora project's one.
