We currently have to feature requests to add similar (or at least
overlapping) functionality to the Package type.

#2247[1] - enablerepo and disablerepo for yum type

#4113[2] - Provide a generic "options"-style parameter for packages.

It seems like having #4113 would remove the need for having #2247, but I
wanted to get some wider opinions to make sure I wasn't ignoring some
use-case that would make this not the case.

Personally, I think we should move forward on #4113 instead of #2247,
since #4113 seems like the more general solution, and isn't tied
directly to the yum provider.

#2247 does currently have some code submitted for it, however it
requires a signed CLA before we can accept it.  While no code has been
written for #4113 yet, it doesn't look like it would actually be that
much work to do.

Thoughts?  Opinions?  Comments?
