UI always matters especially when we are talking about non technical users. A typical non technical user would click on updates when the DE notifies them and nothing more complicated than that.
Again. A notification notifies the user, a mail notifies the user. I.e. two different ways of notifying the user. The UI is totally irrelevant in this case. The relevant part is the text message presented to the user. This text message can come from a notification popping up on the screen, or from a a mail, the UI does not matter at all.
It is based on real life experiences dealing with them on a regular basis and development of distribution cannot be based on supporting strange choices from users.
So you think it is better that these mails, sent to root, is "lost", i.e. never delivered to the user? Why?
You cannot expect non technical users to do anything about third party repository failures. Color me unconvinced by your example.
You missed the point. The point of the example was not fixing third party repository failures. The point was that the user was informed about an error that stopped yum from working.
