Having to wait for yum to download the repos metadata when using 'yum info' or 'yum provides' is just too irritating, especially if you have a slow internet connection and less than 3-4 hours ago you had to wait for the metadata to be downloaded... I set metadata_expire=1d in /etc/yum.conf for that particular reason.

Making RPMs and yum more efficient is great, don't get me wrong.
With yum there's metadata_expire_filter which you gives you finer control of when the metadata is udpated, but honestly I found it too complicated to understand and opted for setting metadata_expire=1d; FWIW I've not had to change that value, i.e I don't see any discrepancies when using yum.
