simple reverse priority?

What does that mean? The higher the score the better? Isn't that kinda
counterintuitive?

why tie up the repository ignoring concept into scoring?

why not have a score that is a simple scale (either reversed like you've
suggested or a forward priority) and then have a different option for
disabling a repository?

ie:

[foorepo]
score=20
disabled=0

then we are confusing two ideas
how does that sound?
