So to re-open a discussion from 2004:

...what do people think of having a _non-configurable_ user-agent string
like:

urlgrabber/3.0.0 YUM/3.2.11

...where the first part comes from urlgrabber, and the second we add[1],
this provides two benefits:

1. It allows us to track which versions people are using on Fedora etc.

2. It allows people to configure holes in their firewall for YUM.

...the BZ that wants this is for #2, but I figure #1 is useful enough we
don't have to discuss how bad that is.


[1] It might even be nice to have the Fedora rpms change it to give the
entire rpm epoch/version/release maybe even add updatesd in their too.
