Support for Excluded Yum Repositories in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf

[cloud86robb3rt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes, the problem occurs when the tool does not account for the yum repositories that have been added as exclusions in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf. These exclusions were added due to recurring issues with specific repositories. As a result, the tool selects these problematic repositories, which leads to errors during migrations. This has caused us to restart migrations multiple times, hoping that a different repository will be chosen.

Describe the solution you'd like

We would like the tool to recognize and respect the excluded yum repositories listed in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf.
By doing so, the tool can avoid these problematic repositories and proceed with the migration process more reliably.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One alternative we've tried is manually restarting the migration process multiple times to force the tool to choose a different repository. However, this approach is inefficient and time-consuming.
