Yes, it can be done. I did it a while back, but don't remember all the details.
I merged the updates into the distribution, plus a few yum-related packages
from centosplus. I *think* I hacked up a comps.xml to create the yum metadata
with createrepo, but that's only half the story. You also need to update the
hdlist and hdlist2 files with /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/pkgorder and
genhdlist. There are pitfalls. Best thing is to build a 3.9 vm from just
the base package and then create all the metadata files on it from the
combined repo.
