Is it possible to mark particular repositories with a regex for the
packages it is allowed to provide?  That would make it a lot
more convenient -- you wouldn't need to specify --enablerepo when
running yum.  Heck, you could even enable autoupdates and
feel somewhat safe your system wouldn't be creamed by strange
new updates from a repository...
