This brings up a thought that I was having.
1 - Switch from having a yum-conf rpm to having the default yum 
repositories in sl-release, like the rest of the world.

2 - Remove all of the non-sl repositories out of the default yum 
repositories (dag, atrpms, adobe), and then have *all* non-sl yum 
repositories in their own rpm.
2a - We could name these yum-conf-<repo> such as yum-conf-dag, 
yum-conf-elrepo and yum-conf-epel.  But I'm up for giving them a 
different name if everyone thinks something would be better.

3 - Have the yum priorities plugin installed by default, and all yum 
repositories need to have a priority ranking.
