[Yum-devel] Priorities plugin added to yum-utils

Hi,
	A default priority of 99 seems strange to me. Wouldn't 50 make more
sense, allowing people to configure repos either higher or lower than
the repos without any priority?

	i.e. all the stock fedora repos won't have a priority configured[1],
and people will only use this plugin when they add another repo, and
they may wish to have that repo higher than the fedora ones ... so,
wouldn't it be better if they only had to specify a priority for the
added repo in order to achieve that?

Cheers,
Mark.

[1] - yum would barf on any set priority if the plugin wasn't enabled,
right?
