smart has no such support, you were probably using something like the
medley-package-config that comes with smart channels for many repos
preconfigured and you thought they were copied from the yum config
(medley-package-config has the same repo info alsp as yum repos, so to
the user it may seem like you describe, indeed).

For FC6 there is again a medley-package-config containing the repos
that started to support FC6. If something is missing there report on
ATrpms' channels (bugzilla preferred).
