It still uses yum.conf. But the .repo files simplifies things.
Maintainers can now put together a -release package with their GPG key
and all the .repo files, so you just install the -release package and
go, rather than download and install the key and manually enter the
repo info in a monolithic yum.conf. Freshrpms has already released a
freshrpms-release package like this.
