That is true, but because all our machines use a common config from an include=, I add the rpmforge manually to the master yum.conf (on our web server) and that takes care of it. As I said, it is a workaround, not a solution. I still would like (at a minimum) to see the files put back into the yumconf package. Even better would be yumconf-centos which provides yumconf.
