I'm prone to agree with that - the easy thing I could do is have yum
update dtrt - just update. I don't think added a refresh does anything
but confuse what update does :)

so I'd be prone to change the comparison list for update

right now yum update pkg* compares the pkgs to the list of available
pkgs.

I could have it compare the packages to just the list of update-able
pkgs. so then yum update would never install something unless it was a
dependency requirement.

That would break the similarity to rpm's commands - but it might be more
logical.
