Comment(by mikus):

 Replying to [comment:4 dsd]:
 > Thanks for reporting but we can't really support modified builds. In
 this case it sounds like you've found a real fedora 11 bug, and F11 is
 still supported, so you could probably get them to fix this upstream by
 simply requesting that they backport the fix.

 My reason for reporting my problem was that I suspected that once XO-1.5
 support gets put into F12, then any XO-1.5 user of yum (on F12) would
 encounter the same problem that I saw now.
 --------
 You are looking at how I got to the problem.  I was looking at "what might
 this problem indicate?"  [I tried to discover the 'syntax specification'
 for yum.conf, but was unable to find such a document.]  I see two
 possibilities --

 Possibility 1:  It is legitimate to use "include=" to fetch options into
 yum.conf.  In that case, once XO-1.5 support is brought into F12, I will
 file a bug against F12 for not supporting that usage.

 Possibility 2:  It is not legitimate to use "include=" to fetch options
 into yum.conf.  In that case, I would expect XO-1.5 support in F11 to not
 introduce that usage.
