I believe it is the one who proposes the change that has to explain
why it is necessary and can't be done in any other way. It has already
been said why it is wrong in this thread: people still use rpm command
to install packages. Is there a very good reason to force them to use
yum instead? Yum is still slower than plain rpm. After all, it is
a frontend and I do not think forcing people to use frontends is a good
idea when the tool behind the frontend can do the job just as well.
