1. we can isolate feed type from content; To me feed type doesnt 
necessarily mean content type. I could have a yum or local feed which 
pulls down rpms, distributions and Isos. So we could do something like

* pulp-admin repo create --id=pulp-f13-i386 
--feed=bulk/yum/local/clone:http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fedora-13/i386/ 
--content=rpm,deb,file

which mean repo pulp-f13-i386 supports rpms,debs and files and nothing else.

2. Or we can go the route where we pull everything unless restricted

* pulp-admin repo create --id=pulp-f13-i386 
--feed=bulk/yum/local/clone:http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/pulp/pulp/fedora-13/i386/ 
--ignore=deb

this would pull everything in the url structure unless we specifically 
skip a type.

Let us know If anyone has any other thoughts
