The problem with that is that I would not be able to use any names that happened
to conflict with whatever is in someone elses yumgroups.xml. That would be
difficult if not impossible. FWIW I do not normally use public repos with
existing yumgroups.xml files but I have seen it and been bitten by it. I would
just like to be able to avoid it in the future. FWIW: The repos at duke have
this.
Right now the only answer seems to be not to use repos that are "helping you"
in this mannor but...
