We are trying to trim down the number of extra repositories that get 
installed with the initial yum-conf.  When SL 5 started, we started with 
the yum repositories you currently see.  As more yum repositories came 
to be (EPEL, CentOS Extras,  ELRepo ...) we had to make the choice of 
adding all these various repositories into the default, or give each of 
them their own yum-conf file.  The choice was to give each of them their 
own yum-conf file.

With SL 6 there will only be Scientific Linux yum repositories in the 
default yum.repos.d, and all the others will have their own yum-conf rpm 
that get's installed.
