Agreed... if end users and third-party repos are expected to also put 
their configs into this directory, then having "distro" in the name 
doesn't really make sense.

If the objection to yum.repos.d is that they are not just "yum repos" 
anymore, since clients other than yum can consume them -- then maybe we 
can think of them as "yum-formatted package repos" (that is, 
"repositories of RPM packages with metadata in the format originated by 
yum").

In that case, yum.repos.d still seems reasonable to me, but if you 
*really* want to avoid the word "yum" in there then maybe 
package-repos.d or package.repos.d or packagerepos.d?
