a) a "smart mirror --remove-all" does (for me) not remove the
configured mirrors from the configuration; a "smart mirror --show" 
still shows all mirrors!

b) why should one remove the configured mirrors? Just configure all
mirrors you need for all channels and leave them as they are; they
can be used from all places

c) just create two (or more) channel.txt files with the 
necessary settings (and remove e.g. in case of rpm-Systems
the channel [rpm-sys]). Then you can easily switch between 
the different settings by saying:

- smart channel --remove-all
- smart channel --add "your channel.txt file"
- smart config --set ...
