1) Given that it's using yum, downloading multiple things in parallel
would need to be fixed there.
2) If it means downloading packages in the background while it does
other tasks, given that package selection is the final task in the
current workflow, it would require reordering the workflow to be
beneficial. (Which becomes a memory usage tradeoff.)
