Yum - um...

Hi,
I don't know if this one was already discussed to death,
but please bear with me...
Why is it that YUM can only be run/executed once, by one process,
by one user - whatever when all I am trying to do is to yum info <whatever>
while yum is busy doing something else.
I mean - why wasn't yum written so that it can take care of itself,
that is, it knows what is permissible and what is not permissible?
I somewhat understand if an update or installation is taking place (but
these operations could use transactions control) - but why not allow commands
such as list or search or other non-intrusive operations while yum is doing,
say updates or installs?
Just wondered,
Dan
