Yes I could do that, thank you. (However, it must be set to "keep" I think, not "0", according to man yum.conf).
"keep" is a value set in the YUM database. "0" is what you set installonly_limit to prevent YUM from removing installonly packages.
From the manpage, note the added emphasis:
installonly_limit Number of packages listed in installonlypkgs to keep installed at the same time. __Setting to 0 disables this feature.__ Default is '3'. Note that this functionality used to be in the "installonlyn" plugin, where this option was altered via. tokeep. Note that as of version 3.2.24, yum will now __look in the yumdb__ for a installonly attribute on installed packages. If __that attribute is "keep",__ then they will never be removed.
