I'd like consistent behavior please.

Typing yum install requires a password, so should be the behaviour for
running a command that doesn't exist causing a package to be installed.

I believe when this was discussed, the consensus was that installing a new package is safer than removing one (as adding one wouldn't affect other people in general). So that it would not be unreasonable to allow someone the ability to install new packages and not allow them to remove them.
