I'm agreeing with the assertion I quoted, but pointing out there is an option to gain rollback functionality. That's all. I've never used control-c during a yum update. Too me, that seems like "Oh hell, I didn't mean to throw that cup of habaneros in my blueberry smoothie! Control-c?!" Even if they haven't been blended in yet, the smoothie is destroyed. So no, I was not suggesting automatic rollback. However... What's the expectation of a user hitting control-c in the middle of a yum update anyway? My first inclination is it makes zero sense, like habaneros in a smoothie. But if control-c means "stop here" as in "don't push the frappe button!" is that really as useful as "go back to start" as in "magically remove the habaneros?" I'd pick a return to a known stable state, rather than being dropped in who knows what, where I'm probably going to have to install yum-utils and run yum-complete-transaction and who knows what. It'd probably work, that's what it's there for. Like picking each habanero and seed out of a blender with a fork? Magic sounds better.
