[Well I think that sentence went on for far too long.]

"Did you mean such-and-such?" is not a user-hostile message when
compared to simply telling the user that the specified package doesn't
exist. Seriously, given the low-level nature of RPM and YUM, I'm
impressed that it makes a suggestion at all.

In any case, you're exaggerating the current situation somewhat. There
is little need to "re-type the command" when you have a perfectly
serviceable up arrow on your keyboard.
