It doesn't affect how a consumer using yum consumes a published 
repository. A published repo is still yum metadata, generated and stored 
on disk, and symlinks to RPMs hosted by apache.

But it also means we're not updating the metadata on disk every time a 
change is made, which is one reason why uploading an RPM into a cloned 
repo was rough in v1. The simplest way to sum it up is that instead of 
the yum repo on disk being the authoritative source of what's in the 
repo, with the database being inconsistently updated with a subset of 
the information, the Pulp database is the source.
