But this is no different from specifying all config files with (norep=
lace).=20
Plus creates more problem with distribution:
yum.rpm depends on yum-conf.rpm
and
yum-conf.rpm depends on yum.rpm
so as for me - it's much easier and more correct to use right setting=
 within=20
RPM than building dozens of separate RPM's.

Just my 2c.
