I wrote the skip-broken plugin because Seth asked me too, we agreed that 
it was best to make it as a plugin because the check
skip-broken does take extra time, so you don't want to do it every time. 
Integration of the skip-broken option into yum cli base, will not solve 
the issue for the new users because they use pup to update the system, 
so the have to be build some support for skip-broken into pup.
In yumex i am planning to ask the user if they want to remove packages 
with broken depencies, if dependency error is found in the transaction.
I think that the plugin is fine for yum-cli, but extra stuff can be 
build into the gui's like pup,pirut & yumex.
