[Yum] Weird wish

Hello Seth,

I got a weird wish:

How about a "message of the day" function for a repository?

Let me elaborate a bit on the reasoning....
I use yum for a number of update functions, but I also use yum for 
development purposes. Ex: I want to set myth-tv up, but I want to know 
what packages are really needed, so I start off with a bare FC2 or FC3.
Then I create a new repository and start filling it up as the myth 
packages require.
Just an example - but......

Somebody (actually quite a few) apparently found this out (how is still 
a mystery or maybe a myth) and suddenly my poor 800/128kbps DSL line is 
swamped 24/7.
Which is understandable, but I would like to tell these people that 
really - this is nowhere near the bandwidth they need, please go to 
somwhere.else.com  where a mirror has been put up. Just to make my 
private line available for other things than just minumum email.

So that is what I would like a message of the day for. Info - not swearing.
