My first question would be "why does it matter?"  Why not just have more
repos listed and if you're doing something with sources, you deal with
the repos and have your arches set to src as opposed to "binary" arches.
Sure, it's more metadata, but at the end, you're going to end up
churning through it all anyway, so I don't know that it's that large of
a cost really
