Hi Homer,

I'm pretty sure that messing with people's software repository configuration is
not acceptable in a package. (I haven't taken a look at how this was achieved
in this package).

An example why this might be bad: eg user installs package A from (removed
repo), that requires current versions of libraries. They then install this
package, which disables the repo. Fedora offers security patches for the libs
that package A requires (specific version). Now the user can never successfully
update to the security fixed packages because yum sees that the installed
package would break.

ps. I haven't performed a normal review.
