[Yum] Question about yum as an rpm helper ...

Yes.

That option and others are well described in the (unfinished) yum howto at:

http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO.html#toc1

 From it I learned enough to set up my own repositories and edit 
yum.conf to good effect.

Lurking on this list has also taught me a lot.
