Users shouldn't have to go searching out that kind of thing in a
separate package IMHO, it could just be part of stock yum install.
If it needs to be optional a config param would suffice, rather
than the big hammer of installing/uninstalling extra RPM to enable/
disable a feature.
and hwat let you come to the conclusion that if you have
it to enable in a config makes anything different?
have it enabled as DEFAULT is plain stupid
did you ever see "checksu mismatch" from YUM?
i saw this once download the metadata from ALL known mirrors
resultig in some hundret MB traffic over night in background
thanks god that i have
a) a fast line
b) no traffic limit
if you pay for traffic over limits such "features" can ruin you
