Just knowing repo URLs doesn't help reproducibility - repo content can change.
--global-config was added for experiments running livecd-creator in mock/koji/brew
Mock adds repos from its config to /etc/yum.conf in the buildroot, and this, combined with exact koji repo ID, gets us real reproducibility.

Right, I'll do that. It should work like yum -C, the target use-case is to re-use mock yum_cache, where all packages from kickstart are pulled in by mock as BRs. See work-in-progress spec files, min-builder prepares buildroot and min is RPM wrapper for livecd ISO.
