I love that yumcommands.py, so I'm looking at filling in the help for 
each command, and maybe tab completion in the shell. Though I suppose 
that could go in 3.0.X as well?

On the subject of performance, it might not be bad to focus a release 
purely on code tuning, with a clear set of goals. It seems to be working 
for Bazaar.
