It's one of the big-ish things I'm hoping to get done; I have the start
of poking some infrastructure down into yum lying around from right
after Thanksgiving, I need to just flesh it out and send a proposal to
yum-devel on how it should work.  I'll try to add it to the wiki list
later today.  Of course, that depends on if I ever finish reading my
mail ;-)
