This does raise a good point though -- since core yum can't even deal with
src.rpms, shouldn't there be an easy way to tag source rpm repo config files
so yum ignores them but that they're _all_ yumdownloader --source looks at?
we'd need another config item per repo to distinguish source-only repos
from others. Yes, that's doable but is it worth it?
