I didn't expect to get asked about that. It is pretty rare that new keys
for repositories show up and hadn't seen that happen before. Now that I
know it does, I need to see if there is a different way to do things.
I don't want it adding keys for me, but I don't always want to see a list
of what is going to be updated before OK'ing the update.

As I said, its about time I reread the documentation for yum and see if
there is a better way to do what I want.
