Doesn't matter.  It would be sufficient if I could tell the [base] repo

protect=1
unprotect=firefox*

I don't care if firefox always comes from the *same* repository, I
want it to always be *the most recent* RPM from any/all of the enabled
repositories.  I don't want to exclude it from the base repo list, I
only want to exclude it from "protection".
