Generally I agree, but with one exception. It should be allowed to hit ^C during preparation phases (metadata fetch, dependency processing, even package download), *before* any software get changed (also: rpmdb changes).

Example: I have proxy at work, no proxy at home. If I forget to change proxy settings, and run "yum check-update", it's very annoying it can't be stopped. And I think we all agree that breaking while "yum check-update" is not harmful.
