When combined with a way to configure that you want to lock-down or partially specify some parts of the repo-name-epoch-ver-rel.arch.hdr (as Carwyn proposed in the thread "Not quite an idea", or as we've been discussing in the thread "more thoughts on yum.conf and packages/repositories") this could be very useful. Note, Carwyn's proposal doesn't allow for specifying the repo (though it obviously could), and the "more thoughts" thread is sounding kinda half-baked the more I think about it. However, putting the two together, along with the idea in the message to which this is a reply, might make something useful.
