Well, from my own experience, I do believe its a valid question.

Look, sometimes an ego is going to get bruised, even if its mine 
because I didn't read all the caveats, or hold my chew in the correct 
side of my mouth, any one of a thousand things.  But when one 
application (yum) consistently fubars the system, I don't care whose 
ego is bruised, it still needs to be fixed.  If I'm running it wrong, 
then so be it, I can be directed.

But first, I have to get somebodies attention so they can tell me 
where I screwed up if indeed I did.

Put this way, I let yum update 290 some packages.  To get that far, I 
had to mv Pubkeys and rebuild the rpm database to restore it.  When 
it was done, the kernel it installed won't boot, and when booted to 
the older version, now X complains it doesn't have perms to run, and 
I'm root doing the startx.  If those facts bruise an ego, then I'm 
sorry, but it doesn't change the FACTS.
