The purpose of this change is so that we mirror what is done by upstream.
They provide their update sources in redhat-release file.
A separate RPM for yumconf (and up2date-conf) is redundant.
Have it be part of yum or up2date is bad ...
I have no problem with a sperate yumconf package, but it is not in keeping with upstream.
Does the upstream contain the yum confg files? If not then I don't think CentOS should be adding the files there. I don't use up2date so I can't comment on that.
RHEL-4 doesn't contain yum, however the rhn sources file is in redhat- release.
As I said, we can change it back if it is a huge problem, but it makes since to do all the update sources in one file (CentOS release).
Then, if you want to make your own distro ... replace that one file and all your update streams can be adjusted.
This is what I did yesterday for duke's internal centos 4 release. I just made a new centos-release and was done.
