Hey icon, how much use is that without --nodeps?

BTW, I'm urgently missing a --snafu switch to be able to reproduce all 
those snafus, unilluminated crowd seem to experience with yum lately.

And how about --self-destroy as a security measure, implemented as "rpm 
-e yum; rm -rf /var/lib/rpm", in order to really save people from using 
yum successfully, automatically invoked after three unsuccessful 
attempts to run yum, and/or even better --really-self-destroy, 
implemented as "dd of=$BOOTDRV < /dev/urandom", in order to 
successfully save people from wasting any more time with computers..
