Besides, your approach simply won't work. If you were to install an edited (patched) repo file set to enabled=0, the first time a user runs 'yum update' and the repo file gets updated from the repo the user will be back at the repo's default settings regardless of how the distro may or may not have initially patched the repo file.
Hmmm, that seems like a bug. Should rpm packages clobber user configurations?
Sole purpose of the update for repository packages is to replace *.repo file with the one with correct link, but rather then to edit file they replace it, thus defaulting any change you made.
