Hello Max!

Exactly that is the downside I see with populating this *example*

http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf

file. People get it, use it as it is and even enable preset repositories
because it is easy to do so.
Don't get me wrong. I like the unofficial Fedora FAQ site much and your
work. But the yum.conf there was never taken as an example file by the
users.
Maybe you should insert there a clear warning about consequences
enabling all repositories in there. And a comment about choosing more
local mirrors (i.e. European users should use European mirrors mainly).
Although I fear commenting text is mostly ignored.

Regards

Alexander
