+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.)
