Is it ok to do this?

I recently added 2 repositories to YUM, fedors-extra and livna-stable. BEFORE I added them YUM update said all is current. AFTER I added them I get this:

Is it ok to do this since the install & updates are not from the YDL repositories?

It might be ok to update the system, but if the system not broke why fix it

To keep everything current I suppose. I guess my question is really: Is it ok to update my YDL software from the Fedora repository?

In the motorcycle repair business (many moons past) we had a saying: "If it works, it's OK"

The only real issue is that when you come back with a question on why something doesn't work, you're likely to get the profound advice that you should use the repositories for your distro.
