I would very much like to have this functionality be able to replace the repository files completely. For performance purposes, we have a local clone of the entire Centos 5/6 trees (for limited architectures). There are no circumstances where I want our instances to hit the upstream mirror list instead of our local mirror. I've actually had to edit the local template to make that the case now, so I'd really like to see this functionality added.

Michael, does this look good to you? > One important point in having a local repository is to make installations reproducible. I could take a snapshot of the currently available packages on the official mirrors to run my own frozen mirror, or I could loop mount the released DVD. This would not work if the official CentOS repository is still in the loop. Don't get me wrong, I highly appreciate the efforts of the CentOS folks to keep their distro up-to-date. But CentOS 6.3 cannot be installed anymore, since it has been wiped off the mirrors.
