What is the difficult on adding a file to yum.repo.d ?
It is designed for that. Each initial page for an aditional repo would
have instructions on how to activate it and provide a repo file to copy from.
The difficulty is that, currently, in Fedora and indeed most other modern distributions, if I want to install a piece of software, I don't want to have to Google the software, find the Fedora repository for that software, add the repo file, and then use yum to install it. I want to be able to use yum to install the software directly.
Of course if this fails I'll look around on the internet for unofficial RPMs or repositories, but the point is that it's a huge inconvenience to the user to make them have to do this when, at present, they don't need to.
It's not a difficulty so much as a bad or annoying design decision from an end-user standpoint.
