yummir, manage mirror servers in /etc/yum.conf

[Peter Smith]

Ingenius!  8)  That's a great idea, I'm working on implementing that 
here at my site now, thanks.  Now we only need some sort of "add your 
repository to the list" automated web thingy now.  And maybe even a 
"access yummir via web" chunk that lets you look at the current list of 
repositories and/or their current state(s).
