[Pulp-list] Handling Uploads to repos with feed

Should we allow the case where, user creates a repo with a feed, syncs 
down the content and then tries to upload additional content to the same 
repo?

Pros:

* A user probably will have an easy time adding custom content to their 
repos without having to create new repos

Cons:

* We need to regenerate metadata for the repo. Today we get the metadata 
for repos with feed directly from the feed.
* Will need to worry about what version of RHEL/Fedora pulp is running 
on for compatible yum metadata.
* For Red Hat repos, we probably dont want to allow this anyway. So 
we'll need some extra rules to bypass this.

Overall seems like keeping uploads separate from feed repos is cleaner. 
User can always create a new repo, upload content and subscribe to both 
repos to get that additional content.

Lemme know your feedback.
