I would imagine to perform several actions at once such as removing, installing and updating things all in one go. Also consider the case where two conflicting packages provide the same functionality that several installed packages rely on. If you wanted to switch without yum shell you would first have to uninstall the one package which would remove all packages that depend on it and then reinstall all of those packages along with the alternative package. With yum shell you could remove the one package and install the other in one transaction removing the need for removing and reinstalling all the dependent packages. That's the kind of thing i use it for anyway. > What does DTRT mean?
