The last time it happened to me, when yum fails to contact one repo,
a 'yum update' fails completely. Ie, it fails for every repo, instead
of downloading updates from the repos that it _could_ contact.
If current yum has been fixed to work in the face of adversity,
then I agree, otherwise, the ability to easily disable a broken repo
is useful.
