I must be in a minority. I only update from the standard core/updates/extras repositories (which I get from a local repository). While I have the .repo files for livna, freshrpms, dries, dag, etc, they are all disabled (enabled=0) and I would only install individual packages from these repositories (yum --enablerepo=livna) as and when required.
I do the same. I don't like updating the entire system against 3rd party repos. I only use them when I need to.
Is it possible to mark particular repositories with a regex for the packages it is allowed to provide? That would make it a lot more convenient -- you wouldn't need to specify --enablerepo when running yum. Heck, you could even enable autoupdates and feel somewhat safe your system wouldn't be creamed by strange new updates from a repository... - Dan
