Suggestion: Please add a single configuration file to configure common
package manager options
I think you answered your own question => modify the .repo files

Thank you!!! Yes, I know that I can do it, but its nothing but
ridiculous. And, as I said, this is an unsafe approach: first I excluded
it from one repo, then I discovered that I should add another
repository, and then another one. What if this package is in 50 repos?
Or you want to set metadata_expire for 50 repos?
I wonder if having a single packages.conf is THAT hard!!!

WTF don't you read other answers before continue to rant?
just edit "yum.conf" instead demand a useless "packages.conf"
duplicating what is already there
Have you read my first email carefully? yum.conf is only used by yum,
DNF and PackageKit/Gnome software don't care about it.

DNF is using "/etc/dnf/dnf.conf" which is one reason more to finally rename it back to YUM when it starts to replace it instead demand users all over the world change working configs, but that's a different topic nobody cares about

if other sofwtare like Packagekit ignore that global options of the package manager just file bugreport for them

>>> I wonder if having a single packages.conf is THAT hard!!!

for DNF, YUM, Packagekit and what not else?
surely, the same way hard to just proceed the configuration of yum.conf, they all would needed to be changed
