What about old centos's which yum.conf point on "centos-3" instead of "centos" ?
I Think we still need a simlink "centos-3" on "centos" , or we will get this message:

Error getting file http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.3/addons/i386/headers/header.info
 [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

In a normal way, i should not have to modify yum.conf by hand ...
