Exactly the same issues crop up at CentOS and CentOS tries to package
up "extras" or "plus" repos to satisfy these user needs.

Packaging such "extras", "plus" etc bits would be something that SL
and CentOS could perhaps indeed share together. Most probably these
repos can be used directly on SL (haven't tried it myself, perhaps
someone else has and can share positive/negative experience with
SL/CentOS compatibility on this sector)
