You can't compare the likelyhoods as it is already in an external
add-on repostory since a year now ;)

But more seriously there is no contradiction between ATrpms and Fedora
Extras, you can work on both, and if the same persons are involved it
will ensure compatibility. The main difference is that ATrpms has a
broader scope on distributions than Fedora Extras (e.g. there are
packages for RHEL4/3 as well as older FC and RHL releases), and has a
much faster package inclusion procedure (more like Fedora Core's
rawhide/updates-testing model than Fedora Extra's bugzilla model).
