For the longest time, the Fedora Project has included a baseurl= line

followed along, and I expect a lot of users have some sort of
sed/awk/ed script which looks for a #baseurl and does something with
it.
The upstream configs in Fedora's repo files are changing to only have
the metalink= line in them, and a couple of Pull Requests to make the
changes to the EPEL config files have been placed.

I am announcing the change here so that people can be aware before this
starts to show up in EPEL in the next month or so.
This will definitely break a bunch of scripts. Can we at least change it to point to
example.com if the server load is too great? I use this to point to local mirrors when
mirror manager is not an option.
