I propose a minor addition to the documentation, on the option --exclude

"This option may be used more than once to exclude several packages."
or
"To exclude several packages, this option may be used several times."
or
"If you wish to exclude more than one package, you may use this option 
several times with or without globbing."


===CURRENT DOCUMENTATION===
yum --help
   --exclude=[package]   exclude package(s) by name or glob

info yum
   --exclude=package
    Exclude a specific package by name or glob from updates on all 
repositories.
               Configuration Option: exclude
===END CURRENT DOCUMENTATION===




Example of usage

yum update --exclude=gnome-panel --exclude=evolution*
