The Dribble, Freshrpms and Livna teams, already joined by some Fedora contributors, are proud to announce the RPM Fusion project.

RPM Fusion aims to bring together many packagers from various 3rd party repos and build a single add-on repository for Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Nice -- so this is like the old RPMforge, but with a unified packaging policy (rather than a confederation of repositories)?

But the reason you need additional 3rd party repositories in the first place is when the unified one has a policy that prohibits certain packages from being there. Will that still be the case?
