It's not installed on my RHEL-clone system. I don't have a useful Fedora 
  system at present, so I can't check that.

Unless yum-protect-packages is part of the standard set of installed 
packages, it's not going to be very effective.

I see a lot of yum plugins listed but uninstalled, I don't know what 
most of them do. Perhaps more of them should be installed as part of the 
  base installation, and users directed to configure them.
