Both yum and yumex confirm before taking any destructive action.

However, if the user runs yum with a -y they have excplicitly offered

What more can we do?

Make a --really-force like mkraid has?

Hell, we even offer a yum plugin which keeps transactions removing certain 
pkgs or transactions of a certain size from running at all.
