Description of problem:
The remove repository feature in the repository manager makes its
exceedingly easy to remove or break repository definitions which are installed
via package files such as those installed by the fedora-release package.  Casual removal of these definitions results in severe problems and leaves users extremely confused as to how to re-equip repository definitions.

It will seldom be in the best interest of the user to prefer to remove such definitions over just disabling them. However the layout of pirut UI stresses the removal option, and de-emphasizes the enable/disable checkbox.

What I would like to see is some way to protect rpm managed repository definitions from unwarranted editting or removal.  Perhaps have pirut probe to see if a definition is rpm managed and if so, then to produce an additional
'do you want to continue dialog' with text similar to this:
"The 'foo' repository definition is managed as part of the 'foo-release' package installed on your system.  Removal/Editting of this repository definition will most likely interfere with updating the 'foo-release' package in the future.  Please consider disabling this repository in pirut instead of removing/editting."

with a dialog button bar like:  [Disable] [Remove/Edit] [Cancel]


I'd also like to see the enable/disable check box with the stronger emphasis, but I'm not a ui designer so I've no mature suggestions on how to actually do this sanely.    

The remove button is the repository equivalent to a self-destruct button.  If you're gonna make it bigger and shinier than the more mundane and safer power-off button (disable) for god sake's man at least put it underneath the software ui equivalent of the glass box like they have on Deal or No Deal.
or the equivalent to one of those cool switch guards Jack Bauer has to use when he's arming explosives like:  http://www.newark.com/jsp/Electromechanical+&+Industrial+Control/Switch+Components/HONEYWELL+S&+C/19PA184-NT/displayProduct.jsp?sku=39B5427
