Nothing except bikeshedding. :)
That said, I think if we want to move the repo files now, we should
also consider making so package installed repo and GPG files are in
/usr/share and that admin additions/overrides can be stored in /etc.
Same goes for vars and other such stuff.
That's more or less the mechanism we've adopted for tons of other
things, and it'd be nice to have it in DNF too...
