I would never enable all these repos and took it as gentle gospel that they were disabled by default for a damn good reason. I have seen much worse example apt and yum confs where this was certainly NOT the case and all kinds of interesting things were enabled that really should not have. Ok, what is my long-winded point? I thought this was a great example conf because it did NOT enable freshrpms atrpms and dag by default and posted examples of the judicious use of enablerepo for singular apps the user might want.
