Topic: DNF warning: "Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=roundrobin"
When running DNF in verbose mode on Fedora 28 I get the following warnings:
Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=roundrobin in /etc/yum.repos.d/remi-glpi91.repo; 'roundrobin' value is not implemented
Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=roundrobin in /etc/yum.repos.d/remi-glpi92.repo; 'roundrobin' value is not implemented
Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=roundrobin in /etc/yum.repos.d/remi-glpi93.repo; 'roundrobin' value is not implemented

Unknown configuration value: failovermethod=roundrobin in /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo; 'roundrobin' value is not implemented
This config option isn't mentioned in `man dnf.conf` but it is in `man yum.conf`, which says:
failovermethod Either `roundrobin' or `priority'.
`roundrobin' randomly selects a URL out of the list of URLs to start with and proceeds through each of them as it encounters a failure contacting the host.
`priority' starts from the first baseurl listed and reads through them sequentially.
failovermethod defaults to `roundrobin' if not specified.
So it seems like this option could be removed from the repo file with no impact on either Yum- or DNF-based distros.
