I haven't been able to figure out what your problem is with this. Do
you think that "occasionally" is incorrect and it will be "usually"?
Or
you just think that the filelists should never be downloaded? I think
that if all the typically used packages on Fedora don't trigger the
filelist download, that's a huge improvement. I'm not really concerned
if you add a 3rd-party repo and end up downloading the filelists because
of that. I don't see how you can avoid downloading them in those cases.
