Will be glad to do whatever is deemed desired; (that was there before I took the reins on it and I wondered the same thing myself)

As you noted, I added the /etc/yum.repos.d info for obvious reasons.  We might wanna let the original author comment, so we can get a feel for what/why/how.  Otherwise, I'll make the change if we don't meet resistance.

Keep in mind, I don't own most of this; my efforts have been in the tagging, and generation of **some** of the ocil check text.  Nothing more.

Thanks,

MM

In review, is there a reason why we should have both of the following rules?
" Ensure gpgcheck Enabled In Main Yum Configuration" and
" Ensure gpgcheck Enabled For All Yum Package Repositories"

Seems to make sense to combine the two into a single rule, likely using the <description>, <ocil> and <rationale> from " Ensure gpgcheck Enabled In Main Yum Configuration" but the <title> from " Ensure gpgcheck Enabled For All Yum Package Repositories"

Mike, could you knock that out? (unless you or someone else see validity in having a "check all repos" and then another rule checking a specific one. Seems redundant.
