Fact of the matter is, that even though people should report such 
iregularities, it would be a lot less work for everybody, if yum would 
update the largest portion of updates that do not have any dependency 
problems. I know we've been over this like a thousand times, but I still 
see no valid reason not to make yum do this!

That would cause the 1 or 2 or 3 packages with probles to be held back, 
not the rest.
