[Yum] Feature Requsest: journaling

If a yum update is interrupted (terminal closed by mistake, powerfailure, 
network hickup etc) the cleanup phase is not executed, leaving the system 
with duplicate packets.

Would it be possible to minimize this problem the database/filesystem way by 
keeping a journal on disk? This could make sure each yum "session" is run in 
full by continuing execution next time yum is started.
