What if... there were a way of going through the RPM database, creating a list, and presenting that to some sort of kickstart routine?
I actually did something similar last time I upgraded.
Before I upgraded, I ran rpm -qa --qf "%{name}.%{arch}\n" > packages
Afterwards, for i in `cat packages` ; do rpm -q $i ; done | grep "is not installed"\ | cut -d\ -f2 presented me with a list of packages that were not installed that I could have fed to yum.

Hope this helps,
Yes it does - thanks! The next upgrade should be coming soon for me. -Don
