Inspired by lazyness: how about doing the repo enable/disable business
with a --repos argument like

  yum --repos='-*,+*dev*,-crazy-stuff-development'

i.e., the repos option defines a list of filters to apply to the
configured repos from left to right, with enabled repos prefixed by a
'+' and disabled repos prefixed by a '-'; the above basically says
'disable all repos, then enable the ones that match '*dev*', then
disable crazy-stuff-development.

A little whacky, but saves at least 10 characters ;)
