Ok, reading that it sounds a lot like "ignore this single update" and
not any future updates of said software.  That's a lot less intrusive
and likely does (in the yum case) belong in yum.conf, so that you won't
have to re-ignore it from other repos.  Re-opening and re-editing config
files for an application you don't own is somewhat scary, especially
because it then makes that file modified in the rpm sense and you wind
up with .rpmnew files littered about during upgrades, and maychance miss
important config updates.
