It still uses yum.conf. But the .repo files simplifies things. Maintainers can now put together a -release package with their GPG key and all the .repo files, so you just install the -release package and go, rather than download and install the key and manually enter the repo info in a monolithic yum.conf. Freshrpms has already released a freshrpms-release package like this.
