This isn't true, provided that the file is marked as config(noreplace) in the rpm -- which is the case for at least epel-release on EL6 which I've just verified -- local changes will not be overwritten, but instead the RPM will install the new config with a .rpmnew extension.

For anyone's reference, that is also the case for elrepo-release [ config(noreplace) in the spec ].

OK, thanks guys. I have not used maintainer provided repo files in couple of years, I made set of my own repo files and I exclude all *-release files so they do not meddle in my yum config.
