Heh. That's one of the things I love about DNF. No longer having to wait
a long time for repo downloads when runing 'dnf' because the cron job has
already cached it, is great. I wish yum would do this by default too!

Adding ability to turn it off via /etc/sysconfig seems reasonable, but
having it on by default makes the out of the box experiance so much
better.
