Those are crystal ball questions to me.
I think it may be wise to disable all zimbra repos, to avoid issues if you are using yum-cron or unattended-upgrades.
Or in case someone installs OS upgrades, unaware of the zimbra situation. For most sysadmins, the expected behavior may not be what zimbra does.
