In fact the protectbase plugin should understand that if you force a
package out of base, that this is the desired behaviour and pull new
packages from the repository it came from.
This behaviour would allow people to override protectbase and make it
permanent. Yum in that case needs to display what it is doing so there's
no chance of misinterpreting the behaviour.
