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.
