Hook up a per-repo 'Disabled' flag in the config for users to mark repos as disabled. This can take a boolean value such as 'yes', 'true', or '1', or the similar negated 'no', 'false', or '0'.

Why do we need this complexity? Why not just specifying "Disabled" disables the repo and not specifying does not...

We may not. Dan brought up the idea of making this a bit more granular, but I don't have my IRC logs to recall exactly what was mentioned... he can weigh in here.

Given that we have no key-only options under repos, I'm leaning against having those be introduced. I've never been a fan of them in the [options] section either.

OK. But do we really need all of True/Yes/1 etc. I just find that confusing compared to a single "Disabled" flag. How about: Usage = All (default) Usage = Search Install Update Allan
