Sure, as things stand (and stood in F17) we kinda assume that if you
enable the remote repos, you don't really mind too much whether any
particular thing you install comes from repos or media.

Well, more 'impossible' than 'tricky', at least as it was in oldUI. You
didn't get to choose; if there was an updated version in the repos, that
was what you got. I think it'll be the same in 19, but I haven't checked
yet.
