That shouldn't be too hard. I'm going to give it a shot.
If that takes too long, I'll just push what I currently have for now.
I notice that you said crb-enable, crb-disable.
Do you like having the name first, or the function first?
enable-crb vs crb-enable ?
either way I want to have it by itself, as well as starting with epel
epel-enable-crb vs epel-crb-enable ?

I was specifically suggesting /usr/bin/crb, accepting a single
argument of enable or disable. I can't find anything else in Fedora
or RHEL using that path.
What would be the purpose of prefixing it with "epel-"? It's not "CRB
from EPEL", it's a generic script for enabling/disabling the crb repo
that just happens to be included in the epel-release package.
