Yes you're right. Yum's current mode should be the verbose mode.

A benefit of showing stuff is that it makes the command seem faster.

When should yum be quiet?

# yum install package
Should be quiet unless a dependency needs to be pulled in, otherwise it
should fail.

To counter this:

# yum -r install package
could resolve dependencies.

Shall I file an RFE?
