For the moment those options are in yum 2.5.0, just released. They may
not continue to be there and most importantly yum 2.5.X will almost
undoubtedly represent an API shift for yum. So it is very likely that a
lot of things will break in yumex. On the plus side it is also very
likely that the new API in yum 2.5.X will make things easier for you to
program with in yumex.

I'd recommend branching yumex soon so it can follow yum-HEAD. We might
be able to shore up old methods later but for the time being it's not a
big priority.
