ok those are related to my particular requirements and not somehow else.
- --download-only is an option and if used in combination with let's say install 
it asks

[install: mod_jk2 2.0.4-4jpp.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: 

which is confusing to say the least, since I'm not going to install package.
Unless I'm missing something there's no way to ask yum to only download 
packages without trying to install them.
 My usage of yum for now would be limited to download capabilities thus my 
"fixes" are related to those features.
I'm not pushing to put this stuff in yum - it's only a proposal/general 
question.
