It's probably worth noting that with the update to yum-3.2.2, the
installonlyn plugin's functionality was merged into yum's core.  The
way to control things with 3.2.2 and later is via installonly_limit in
yum.conf.

The yum.conf manpage states that this option defaults to 0, which
disables the feature.  However, the yum rpm applies a patch that sets
the default to 2 AFAICT.

This change (and the discrepancy in the docs) is sure to bite some
folks.  This was reported in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/249396 .
