smart does an excellent job at that - you can give third party
repositories a lower priority than base/updates/extras - but give
individual packages within the third party repositories a higher
priority.

I would suggest that people who want to use third party repositories use
something like smart (which is available from the third party
repositories, and I think I saw it recently being reviewed for Extras)
opposed to yum.

With that in mind, yum plugins that are disabled/enabled won't matter,
since yum won't be being used for that repo management.
