For services we could use the same layout as in the traditional yast,
there is a small combo box in the upper right corner for switching
between service and repository view.

I agree, the most important value for users is URL and state (enabled/disabled).

Another problem might be with priority - high priority repository shadows
lower priority repositories. Maybe the priority should be displayed when it's
different to the default (99).
