"""
This plugin prevents Yum from removing itself and other protected packages.

By default, yum is the only package protected, but by extension this
automatically protects everything on which yum depends (rpm, python, glibc, 
and so on).Therefore, the plugin functions well even without
compiling careful lists of all important packages.

Additional packages to protect may be listed one per line in the file
/etc/sysconfig/protected-packages and in *.list files placed in  
/etc/sysconfig/protected-packages.d/. 

If you wish to temporarily exclude certain packages from protection, you can
use the --override-protection command-line option.
