*grumble* can't have it both ways.  People want it out of the repot 
target, you want it in or gone completely, I'm unwilling to give it up.  
I had hoped that we could have a compromise with what I set up.  It's 
far enough removed that anybody that doesn't want to sync it doesn't 
have to sync it, yet it's there for those of us that care about it.

And then we get into duplicating the SRPMS, as the SRPMS are the same 
across the $basearches.  Why duplicate?

no there isn't.  I can't make things perfect.  There is no perfect.
