[Yum] ah, clarifying tolerant mode

  ok, just to make sure, as i read it, if you're running yum
in "intolerant" mode and any of the command line args don't
"make sense", the entire command is discarded and no changes 
are made.

  by not "making sense", that would mean perhaps some variation
of the following:

  1) trying to install an already-installed package
  2) trying to update a non-installed package
  3) trying to remove a non-installed package(??)
  4) others ???

  however, in "tolerant" mode, any problematic arguments are
just skipped and the rest are still processed.

  is that about right?
