Even better - leave them disabled by default and install/update specific
packages with --enablerepo= to control which you get and avoid, to the
extent possible, random conflicts. I'm not sure if this is still true
but I thought it was fairly safe to leave epel enabled since they
rarely/never overwrite base packages. But sometimes you want something
newer from rpmforge.
