OK.

OK.

Correct. Now identical to form 2.

OK. makes sense.

Agreed.

"It's time"
I think we have final locations now.

Also:
[rpmfusion-free-updates-testing]: add disabled=yes as default ?
[rpmfusion-non-free-updates-testing]: add disabled=yes as default ?

Can smart handle mirrorlist's like yum ?
A quick look suggests not, which might limit smart download speed due to
hassling specific servers rather than in country rpmfusion mirrors etc.

If that is the case, perhaps it would be good to at least include multiple
baseurl entries from the repos mirror. Not that we want to re-issue the
-config-smart each time mirror are added/removed from the list. Would it be
possible for the postinstall to retrieve the mirrorlist and insert it as the
list of baseurl= ?
