One idea would be that file:// type repositories would be preferred
when downloading a package. Alternatively, any repository, which is
given a high priority, would be the preferred source when downloading
a package. So a package, which is in a "local" repository, would
never be downloaded from an remote repository. How would this be used?
You "yum --enablerepo=updates-released --enablerepo=updates-mirrored",
and no update package found in updates-mirrored would ever be
downloaded from updates-released. A bit like treating local repos
as a read-only cache.
