This method allows repo maintainers to create an RPM that, when installed by 
the user, automatically installs the GPG key for the repo and configures yum 
to use that repo. Removing the RPM also stops the user's yum from using that 
repo. This is simpler than having users edit their yum.conf files and 
potentially making errors. Ease of maintenance and better for packagers, repo 
maintainers I suppose.
