make it 5 or 10, please. one might want to supersede base packages with ones from private/local repos. hplip for instance was such a candidate for a long time, my printers were not supported by the stock version of hplip from EL5 and I had to compile a newer one from fedora. and at the time I was not yet relying on include/excludepkgs

This touches exactly on the point for why I don't want to include priorities by default. To make it useful for repos that provide newer software than what exists in base/updates (php, httpd, libvirt, whatever), you're automatically working against priorities. It doesn't matter if it's for a local repository or for a SIG.
