If you go with reposync, it might be useful to provide your own
package to replace centos-release (which holds /etc/yum.repos.d/*,
among others).

What I did is create a package local-release which obsoletes
redhat-release and centos-release, and have its yum config point to my
local reposync-created mirror.
