What is the difficult on adding a file to yum.repo.d ?
It is designed for that. Each initial page for an aditional repo would
have instructions on how to activate it and provide a repo file to copy from.

Obviously I mean that yum search and many other commands don't work
until and unless the user knows (how?) what repo to add. That means
that you have to add the external repos for the user, or advertise
them, which are incompatible as I explained.
