cost works in default RHEL5

from man yum.conf

  cost  relative  cost  of  accessing  this repository. Useful for
  weighing one repo's packages as  greater/less  than  any  other.
  defaults to 1000
 
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo could contain cost=1001

yes? no? maybe?

I use cost=100 so my local repo always wins against rhn

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
