But - this will effectively exclude all other centosplus packages.
May/may-not be what was wanted. I've also played with protectbase and
found it difficult to find the right combination of protect=0/1 and
include/exclude to get the desired behavior to allow some packages from
add-on repos. Eventually ended up with protect=1 for all the repos I
wanted to use which kind of defeats the purpose.
