Hi!

   Since we now have more than 20 plugins for yum and more are popping up, it
would be a good idea to have a single configuration file for all the
plugins with a format similar to that of .repo files.

[plugin_name1]
enabled=1
parameter1=foo
parameter2=bar

[plugin_name2]
enabled=0
parameter1=foofoo
parameter2=barbar

   Reason:
      1. Say, I have 20 plugins installed and enabled. Now, I want to disable
10 of them randomly. I have to open 10 files one by one and do
enabled=0. That seems a lot of work and also looks quite frustrating. I
think keeping everything in a single file will make things easier :)

      2. I don't see something negative here.

   Let us see what people have to say about it.

The different plugins are separate tools, with separate configurations, it will be a mess to install/remove plugings if they all have the same config file, yum also uses multiple .repo files and not defining all the repo in yum.conf as in the old days of yum :)
