     When possible, that is ideal. But yum doesn't have a built-in
privilege

     Only signed packages from system repositories can be installed.


So if I mistype 'rm' as rn or rb will lrzsz or rn be installed so that
it does the wrong thing next time? Or is this only some commands? And
beyond removing someone from the wheel group what is the way to turn
this off?


uninstall anything in context of packagekit and just use yum

No you can configure polkit instead ... see man polkit

yes, but most people i know use just YUM for better control and if you are firm to use YUM you can safely remove Packagekit without mangle other configs
