Not more then what there already is, at least not really.

No there will be two versions. 10.0 and 10.0 OSS. With SUSE there also is
9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.

It would indeed be easier to have just one repository for everything
(including stuff that is on e.g. the guru and packman repo's). I know
people are working hard on such a thing. I can also imagine that this will
not be possible e.g. due to legal requirements.

I personaly now have the following repo's:
DVD (as a dir)
mirrror
java-mirror
/usr/src/packages/RPMS
Packman
Guru
