This is acceptable for rawhide machines, where its generally more
accepteble to have slightly hack-ish things implemented... This is
hack-ish and is not the way to do this kind of thing properly.
(1) you loose updating of packages with long names(unless by coincidence
that package is pulled in as dependency for package with shorter name)
(2) yum will be run multiple times, whereof a large number is likely to
do absolutely nothing, so wasting resources for no good reason.
If we want this kind of thing, we need to implement it properly.
