right - which is why -C is in there now.

but a couple of clarifications - it does not mean that there will be no
connections - only that it won't try to get a new header.info file.

if it needs a header and/or rpm its going to connect to go get it - so
its not an offline mode at all.

I'll make a daily snapshot with the obsoletes only being considered in
the case of a yum upgrade so people can play with it.
