FC5 and Yum Plugins

[Naheem Zaffar]

I think it is a good idea to protect the base repositories, but it is not
clear-cut.

Secondly third parties should try to parallel-install any package instead of
replacing the core-supplied one. (or work with Fedora in such a way that
instead of replacing a package all they need to do is provide a plugin...).
I can see this is probably not always possible, and am certain 3rd parties
would already have thought of this... so I may just be wasting space here.

What if 3rd parties start shipping their repo files with the protection
enabled aswell? would that be of benefit, or would it lose the benefits of
such a system?
