All the mirrored repositories are currently enabled=1 when installed on 
the guests.

Additions would be welcome.   (maybe cobbler repo add ... --name 
--enabled-on-guest=1/0)?

Patches should go to the 'devel' branch, if you haven't noticed it 
already ... 
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/cobbler/wiki/PatchProcess

It looks like this would warrant adding a "enabled_by_default" value to 
each Cobbler repo object (defaulting to True), and having the 
action_sync.py code
template these out appropriately in the retemplate_yum_repos functions.

If this gets to confusing, it's something I could add, though it will 
get in faster if you add it :)

Thanks!
