Agreed....
The repos --help information indicates that wild cards are supported (and so should the man page)...
[root@jsefler-os6 ~]# subscription-manager repos --help | grep "REPOID" -A1
--enable=REPOID repository to enable (can be specified more than
once). Wildcards (* and ?) are supported.
--disable=REPOID repository to disable (can be specified more than
once). Wildcards (* and ?) are supported.
PS. Remember that "wildcard" is not a word. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192120#c1

Description of problem: from man 8 subscription-manager : REPOS OPTIONS The repos command lists all of the repositories that are available to a system. This command is only used for organizations which have a locally-hosted content service of some kind, like Subscription Asset Manager. With Red Hat’s hosted content service, there is only one central repository. --enable=REPO_ID Enables the specified repository, which is made available by the content sources identified in the system subscriptions. To enable multiple repositories, use this argument multiple times. --disable=REPO_ID Disables the specified repository, which is made available by the content sources identified in the system subscriptions. To disable multiple repositories, use this argument multiple times. As a user, I can use either subscription-manager repos --enable='*' or subscription-manager repos --disable='*' to enable/disable all my repositories respectively. The manual does not document that wildcards are appropriate and it should. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): subscription-manager-1.12.14-9.el6_6.x86_64 Additional info:
