It's my personal opinion that yum does > not do well on any of these three criteria. and you think performance and user experience will get better by downloading packages for dep-solve? are you aware that many people do not have endless bandwith, traffic-limuts and storage and can you imagine how slow this all would be? yum should not waste ressources which i did even in the recent past by consuming wy too much memory resulting get killed from oom-killer on machines with 512 MB RAM and yes, 512 MB RAM are really enough for many servers and there is no argumentation for a UPDATER eating more ressources as the whole server in normal operations
