If things don't work yes. But I would typically be expecting it to work.
Also my repo config files all point to local copies, which may or may
not be there depending on what I am using. So simple enablerepo won't
always work for me.

So do I. I keep a local mirror and use it by default.

updates(-testing)?, but rather pull it from koji. (I spend way too much
time looking at koji build lists.)
