Comment (by kparal):

 The upstream trac is full of spam and nobody seems to care:
 http://createrepo.baseurl.org/report/1

 There is no point creating a ticket there. But when looking into git, I
 see mostly Red Hatters anyway:
 http://createrepo.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=createrepo.git;a=summary

 In this light, we can consider
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700020 being an upstream
 report. As you can see, not much response there either. I'll try to make
 createrepo developers pay more attention to it.

 Still, it would be great if we could change Fedora's default independently
 of createrepo default. Because my feeling is that that won't be adjusted
 in the near future.
