I already offered a couple of examples that you ignored (just a couple
that came to mind, certainly not an exhaustive list):
When will it be useful and correct to remove the *running* kernel (that
is what yum protects you from doing)?
Yum also protects you from removing yum, 'Error: Trying to remove "yum",
which is protected'. Is that bad also? As long as you have rpm installed
you can download the yum rpm, and re-install yum, so why protects it?
Could it be because yum has a user perspective, making it a tad harder
for the non technically oriented user to do bad things to the system?
Leaving the bad things to the more technically oriented user?
