Yes please. It's a common mistake to forget to add the module in the
modules list.

Some modules, however, only need to appear listed there. For those, I
propose _retaining_ the global.modules entry.

So for example:

       [global]
       fedora_release=17
       modules=base,xo1,yumcfg

       [yumcfg]
       add_excludes_to=fedora-rawhide

Simplifies to

       [global]
       fedora_release=17
       modules=base,xo1

       [yumcfg]
       add_excludes_to=fedora-rawhide

You can also do

>        [base]
>        [xo1]

but it looks really dorky.

cheers,
