I was specifically suggesting /usr/bin/crb, accepting a single
argument of enable or disable. I can't find anything else in Fedora
or RHEL using that path.
What would be the purpose of prefixing it with "epel-"? It's not "CRB
from EPEL", it's a generic script for enabling/disabling the crb repo
that just happens to be included in the epel-release package.
crb is as good as anything else.
I'll use that, with options.
