This has been discussed to death in the past. Just because you weren't there
doesn't mean it should be discussed again. The upstream author of yum says
no. Theoretically you could convince the Fedora maintainer of yum to include
and enable the plugin in the Fedora package builds of yum (like we do with
fastest mirror and such), but that may be a tough discussion, and may end up
just like this bug, given how many times its been discussed in the past
before.
A user added a repo by whatever means (installed an rpm, copied a file, hand
wrote it out). They have a reasonable expectation that the repo they enabled
will work just like any other repo they have. To make that the case is just
silly.
