I looked at it a bit this weekend, it's kinda cool, actually. I have to
say getting rid of reports like 'yum vomited on the screen' would please

if yum printed:
'an uncaught exception occurred, please submit the file:
  /tmp/yourmom
to yum bugzilla for help...'

it would be a much nicer thing to hear a report from.
