It would be really nice if users could do yum read > only commands. Yum library already supports per-user private cache (in /var/tmp), many yum-utils use it in order to not require root access. Only yum itself doesn't support it, it'd require classifying yum operations into what the user can do and what requires root and relaxing the root checking accordingly.
