Not at all.

if you put some stuff in there that is NEWER than the base repo by
enabling a new repo .. in this case, lets say fasttrack.

Then you install 4 bind packages .. and say 4 other bind packages are
left that are not installed on your system and newer than the ones in
the base repos .. then you disable the fasttrack repo.

Now with the fasttrack repo disabled, you try to install one of the
packages that you did not have.

The system can not do it .. because .. you are installing by package
name.  The package you are trying to install  .. lets say bind-devel ..
depends on other packages.  You have NEWER packages on your system ..
but the bind-devel in base requires its own version of bind .. not the
new you installed from fasttrack.

So , you would have to do one of two things .. enable fasttrack and
install the same version of bind-devel from fasttrack as you already
have bind for

... OR ...

Downgrade the bind (in this case I said you had 4 bind packages from
fasttrack .. you would need to downgrade all 4) from you have on your
system to the ones in the repos you have enabled.

If everything was named bind-*  .. you could do:

yum distro-sync bind-*

That would give you the latest bind-* packages available from you
enabled repos.

But yum will not automatically downgrade things without specific
instructions.

The bottom line is .. if you add things from repos and then disable
those repos .. you will have to enable them again if you want to add
things later.
