Does yum check both the > files or just checks yum.repos.d for repository information. It checks both locations, hence the warning you've seen. Adding a *.repo file to the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory is much easier than adding a section to /etc/yum.conf, and I mean "a package adding a repository definition file automatically" and not "you editing yum.conf". Even within /etc/yum.repos.d/ you could use a single file if you insist on doing that. ;)
