That said, I think if we want to move the repo files now, we should

Same goes for vars and other such stuff.
That's more or less the mechanism we've adopted for tons of other
things, and it'd be nice to have it in DNF too...
Yes! This.
I would also suggest that the canonical location be defined in another
file whose name is as immutable as possible. If there were a central
file that held such important locations and all tools consulted that
first, these kind of changes would be far less painful. I'm thinking
along the lines of the blessed sanity that /etc/os-release brings.
Obviously it'll take a long time for it to have the far reaching
benefits it could provide, but if we never start down that path...
