You can't do this easily with protectbase. Any protected repo can 
overwrite other protected repos. So you should set 1 only for repos that 
have a minimal chance over overlap (f.i. KBS-Extras does not overlap with 
CentOS). I set base and update plus kbs-extras to protect=1, all the rest 
to 0. It would indeed be nice to have more protection levels (10 can 
overwrite 9, 9 can overwrite 8 and so on ...) instead of just yes and no. 
That plugin isn't very long, maybe someone plays around with it, I haven't 
ever programmed in Python.
