We've been using CentOS' yum on RHEL in conjunction with an empty RPM that provides yumconf. Having centos-release provide yumconf seems to complicate this without giving any particular advantage.

the advantage is better management ability on CentOS

I see this as an interoperability issue, and it should be discussed a bit. I'm not convinced that a yumconf package is the way to go, but providing the files in centos-release doesn't seem to be the right way either. Other opinions?

I'd be happy to revert having a separate yumconf package, unless anyone has a better solution.

use your own yum-conf.rpm that also provides a centos-release !
