[Yum] Rollback option with YUM

Hi all,
Does YUM support transaction level rollback? i.e., if I upgrade my machine
from RHEL 4.0 to RHEL 5.0 using YUM, and if something goes wrong I want to
rollback the entire transaction, so that the upgrade process does not make
my system unstable.
I read this link,
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7034

is this a reliable approach?
does YUM have a repackage option? and based in the exit option of YUM I can
rollback the entire transaction.

Thanks,
Aawardhan
