Comment (by kparal):
The upstream trac is full of spam and nobody seems to care: http://createrepo.baseurl.org/report/1
There is no point creating a ticket there. But when looking into git, I see mostly Red Hatters anyway: http://createrepo.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=createrepo.git;a=summary
In this light, we can consider https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=700020 being an upstream report. As you can see, not much response there either. I'll try to make createrepo developers pay more attention to it.
Still, it would be great if we could change Fedora's default independently of createrepo default. Because my feeling is that that won't be adjusted in the near future.
