Just a FYI for anybody starting to play with this:
This can't be done with current yum plugin infrastructure - plugins in
pre/postresolve slots can't affect the result code yum itself sees from
the depsolve stage, meaning even if you fix the transaction set from
postresolve yum will still stop with broken deps errors. So, it's possible
to write a proof-of-concept plugin for this but it wont be able to do
anything without some changes to yum itself.
