Yum is just broken!  It simply refuses to let you shoot yourself in
the foot!  Bugs should be filed and torches should be lit!! ;)

Seriously, if you find that you need to use rpm --nodeps, then
whatever you are doing is not something yum will ever likely help you
with.  In most cases, you're probably better off rethinking what it is
that you're doing.
