No doubt about that. RPM/Yum atomicity without FS snapshot support is
impossible to achieve. But I am sure a lot of things can be improved.

I cannot speak for Alexandre - but in my case that is just not
possible. I will soon be dealing with thousands of servers running in
rural schools in many countries. Very unreliable power, spotty
internet connectivity. Once yum has started an operation, I hope it
can work hard at completing it, even if that's across several reboots.
