So repodata is condemned to be broken with proxies just because it was
designed broken ? Please reconsider. There are many places in the world
where you can only access trhough proxies (for good reasons) and yum can
not really be used right now.
Just autogenerate to sets of metadata and deprecate the proxy-unfriendly
version after a few years.
Repodata will very shortly have a unique name to it, rather than a
static name. repomd.xml will remain unchanged though.
