Triggered by this thread, I just tried pirut for the first time, and while it  
may lack polish, it certainly works. There's two observations that I'll be  
happy to turn into bugzilla RFEs if so desired:

1. the packages added (or in this case removed) apparently are not added to  
yum.log - I wish they were;
2. I wish the "details" that you've got 15 seconds to look at contain a list  
of the packages that are actually going to be added / removed, not just the  
ones drawn in for dependencies - I removed "dial-up networking", since I'm on  
cable modem I figured I don't need them, and then saw minicom being erased,  
which I wanted to keep (but not for dial-up). Easily enough to revert with  
yum, but I should have been able to avoid it.

Thanks, Willem Riede.
