While a default yum.conf sounds good, for those admins that don't update their yum.conf file after installing a new system, they might get stuck downloading from a mirror that is not close to them.
There is talk about a system like the ClamAV project which redirects you to the closest mirror to you automatically, there is 1 common domain and DNS handles the redirection. In which case everyone would have the same yum.conf file.
