[ovirt-users] oVirt Node update question

Hi Yuval,

i updated my nodes from 4.1.3 to 4.1.6 today and noticed that the

 >     /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-4.1-pre-dependencies.repo
 >     /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-4.1-pre.repo

files i moved away previously reappeared after rebooting, so i'm getting 
updates to 4.1.7-0.1.rc1.20170919143904.git0c14f08 proposed again. 
obviously i haven't fully understood this "layer" concept of imgbased. 
the practical question for me is: how do i get _permanently_ rid of 
these files in path "/etc/yum.repos.d/"?

thanks
matthias
