Hello Max!
Exactly that is the downside I see with populating this *example*
http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf
file. People get it, use it as it is and even enable preset repositories
because it is easy to do so.
Don't get me wrong. I like the unofficial Fedora FAQ site much and your
work. But the yum.conf there was never taken as an example file by the
users.
Maybe you should insert there a clear warning about consequences
enabling all repositories in there. And a comment about choosing more
local mirrors (i.e. European users should use European mirrors mainly).
Although I fear commenting text is mostly ignored.
Or perhaps two yum.confs, as there are more or less two camps with
only a few common repos (namely those that occupy a nice of their own
like jpackage)?
FWIW there is a set of config files for yum/apt/up2date/smart with a
dozen compatible repos distributed in medley-package-config.
