"yumdownloader --source" doesn't need enabled source repos, does it?

  ok, wait, what's happening here? i assume that that option will
override the current (installed) version in terms of enabling only
rawhide-related source repos for the imminent "yumdownloader --source"
command, yes?

  and is there a way to display *which* source repos the
"yumdownloader --source" command would use without running it? perhaps
some variation of "repoquery" or something?

  this seemed like such a simple question when i first asked it ...
