Hi. I did an strace on yum in hopes of seeing the rpm args it uses
in certain cases, but apparently it uses python libs that do the rpm foo,
instead of exec'ing /usr/bin/rpm. Could someone please explain the
reasoning for that decision?

Rpm-python libs provide a far more complete API than command-line
switches, so I'm guessing that would fall under "common sense."
