Ack to the validity of checking both /etc/yum.conf and /etc/yum.repos.d/*

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.
