Do you > simply replace /etc/yum.conf ? Well, yes, I changed the name. And the release version, as it is my *own* package, not following yum.conf (as I have a local repository for CentOS and our own stuff, which is kept in sync via rsync). My package provides yumconf (as does centos-yumconf), to ensure, that my package doesn't get overwritten, I set the epoch in my RPM to 10. Maybe I have to think about that in 5 to 6 years, but then I just could set the Epoch of my package to 20 :) So even if centos-yumconf does get a higher release version than my package does, the high Epoch still keeps my package from being overwritten by yum.
