 NAK.
 We can't do this for at least two reasons:

1. A bunch of plugins use, at least, repo. config. variables (some of
which have global defaults you can set in [main]).

2. It makes the config. parser non-forwards compatible (and
non-backwards compat. if we remove options -- not sure we ever have
though).

...we could maybe have a "yum-config-manager --unknown" or something.
