I guess this relates to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=457379 ?

The idea then was to be able to exclude packages from the repositories 
buildinstall used (e.g. -release and -logos packages in this specific 
case), and the idea now is to have $yumconf in buildinstall reflect the 
settings in 'repo' configuration directives in kickstart, is that right?
