Great idea - exept, should there be a time limit or something? A message
telling you what to do ("press control-C again within 10 seconds to stop
yum")?

After all, the "mirror-change" mechanism is really usefull, but racing
to press ^C fast enough is not. And you might hit two bad mirrors in a
row.
