I'm just starting to "play with" priorities, but I actually made mine
all multiples of 10 on the first setup to make tuning easier.

Great minds think alike. I just sent a message suggesting the same thing.

Also, I think I've found that if you really want to use the "plus"
repo it needs to be the same priority as "base" and "updates".

That could be a problem. Thanks.

Well ... actually, having plus lower is a good thing. BUT, it requires you to exclude the packages that exist in Base/Updates if you use the Plus repo.

This is "A GOOD THING" though. You can install anything in plus that is not a duplicate package in base/updates without a problem ... but you can't accidentally install a package that is also in base/updates without specifically excluding it.
