Reason to have this feature : Better user experience
never used ctrl-c, normally use "killall yum"
if required.
Control C works, but it needs to reach a break point. And once you start
actually doing a transaction you don't normally want control C to work
since it will leave your system in a state where manual cleanup is likely
required.
One scenario which I often hit is forgetting to change the proxy
settings in yum.conf and then trying to update. Yum will clearly fail to
download repodata, but it will keep trying for all mirrors it knows.
Pressing ctrl+c there almost never works since yum only reacts to the
signal when it is sent exactely in the instant between when it gave up
downloading from one mirror due to timeout and beginning attempting to
download from the next.
