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'd be tempted to go with something like:
epel-crb-repo $action
This way any extra ideas for actions can be added easily later on.
Perhaps a "check" or "status" to see if CRB is enabled/disabled/not-
what-the-os-ships.
