new stuff doesnt need to be rushed inside it (they can wait) ..
perhaps a yum plugin that will download of filelist.xml.gz once a week
(when the user runs yum) and create binary database from
filelist.xml.gz .. and considering createrepo metadata not only used
by yum .. other rpm distro might be able to benefit too .. a
standalone application similar to updatedb for create-binary-db is
also a possible alternative ... if the db is too old, just put a
warning message for the user to exec the db updater manually...

bash-command-not-found might not be useful for 90% of us who has been
using linux for a long time .. but for new learners (not newbie
whiners) .. it can be useful for them...
