hi,
I have a silly suggestion
it's to allow both baseurl and mirrorlist to be used together
and in this case yum should download repomd.xml from the baseurl
(which is a very small file) and use the mirrorlist for other files
this way we avoid having messages like this
Not using downloaded repomd.xml because it is older than what we have:

what do you think ?
