The state is now even more unstable, partly depending on an yet to be done
update of system.config-repo.

I have developed a bad habit. Thanks for comment! Habit fixed.

Hm... As I understand it, caja-dropbox conflicts with dropbox, but not
dropbox-repo. Given the overall situation, I think it would be fair to file a
bug against caja-dropbox about handling the case if dropbox is installed
reasonably. This has really nothing with dropbox-repo to do, the situation is
the same if a user installs dropbox "manually" s described in linux.dropbox.com
(?)


One important issue was brought up by Adam Williamsoon in  [1]. GL says:
--

"Configuration for package managers in Fedora MUST ONLY reference the
official Fedora repositories in their default enabled and disabled state
(see the yum repo configuration in the fedora-release package for the
canonical list). Unofficial and third-party repositories that contain
only packages that it is legal for us to direct people to in Fedora (see
the Forbidden items and Licensing:Main pages for an explanation of what
is legal) may be shipped in %{_docdir}. The idea is that the system
administrator would need to explicitly copy the configuration file from
doc into the proper location on the filesystem if they want to enable
the repository."

Question is how to interpret this in the rpmfusion context?
