People want it out of the repot target, you want it in or gone completely, I'm unwilling to give it up. I had hoped that we could have a compromise with what I set up. It's far enough removed that anybody that doesn't want to sync it doesn't have to sync it, yet it's there for those of us that care about it. > Also it might make it easier to exclude all SRPMS with a single > --exclude line in rsync, but this is usually not what mirror admins > want.

And then we get into duplicating the SRPMS, as the SRPMS are the same across the $basearches.
