[Yum] Information about using groups

[O'Brien, Kevin]

I was wondering if a possible solution would be to create a group of
packages that I want to be removed from all systems, schedule a daily
groupremove for that group, and then add any packages I want removed
from all systems to that group.  It seems excessive but I think it would
get the job done.

Would that work?

Yum 2.6.0

So, is there any way to have yum clients automatically remove a package
without running yum remove <package> on each system?  I'm trying to
setup a system where I can install, update, and remove packages from all
my systems from a central location.  I was hoping that if I configured
all my systems to groupupdate from a base group and then removed a
package from that group, all the systems would remove that package.  I
saw a mention of yum-queue back in 2004 but I can't find anything about
it after that.

Thanks for the quick response,
