There is work going on in the development branch of yum to allow for a
dir like this. We're using configparser format instead of xml b/c it
makes the config files very easy for humans to grok, I have a few
problems using xml for a config file that people need to edit b/c I've
found xml config files tend to confuse users. xml for data that a
program has to use/parse is excellent but while xml IS human editable
it's not always trivially so.
