Thank you!!! Yes, I know that I can do it, but its nothing but 
ridiculous. And, as I said, this is an unsafe approach: first I excluded 
it from one repo, then I discovered that I should add another 
repository, and then another one. What if this package is in 50 repos? 
Or you want to set metadata_expire for 50 repos?
I wonder if having a single packages.conf is THAT hard!!!
