and hwat let you come to the conclusion that if you have
it to enable in a config makes anything different?

have it enabled as DEFAULT is plain stupid

did you ever see "checksu mismatch" from YUM?
i saw this once download the metadata from ALL known mirrors
resultig in some hundret MB traffic over night in background

thanks god that i have
a) a fast line
b) no traffic limit

if you pay for traffic over limits such "features" can ruin you
