Well, Seth has spoken on the topic and it seems that people have
actually
found uses for this behavior. I'll update the manpage to refer to the fact
that the clean operations only operate on enabled repositories, end of
story, ok? Before this thread gets any more ridiculous than it already
is...
How about we just say that all yum operations will only act on enabled
repositories? Just so there is no doubt that disabled repos are not
acted on.
