No repository files of any package manager including Yum. Apt and Smart would be a better rule.
+1 on not allowing automatic placement of repo files (of any package manager) to be placed in their default location.

However, I think that a %doc including them (+ clear mentioning this in a README.FEDORA) would be nice. Especially since one can do yum -c /path/to/said/repo. I admit that I am lazy and I prefer this solution to reading README.FEDORA and then downloading the config file from the packager/upstream site. Especially since in the last case I would be tempted to place the downloaded file in /etc/yum.repos.d (or wherever it belongs depending on manager.)
