Downside is that the repos aren't disabled before the rhnreg_ks (so any
activation key installed packages will use those repos).  Also, and I accept
this is a minor risk, package updates in future risk wiping out this, or
adding other repo files to that directory.  Use of a custom directory in the
yum.conf avoids this, and yum package updates preserve changes to the
yum.conf.
