Might I suggest the following changes to the updated Tips and Tricks section:

To be safe, Yum halts and doesn't perform any package changes on your system if 
there is a dependency problem within the repository or in the set of packages 
marked for installation or update.  Use the Yum skip-broken plugin if you would 
like to override this safety feature and install or update only those packages 
that are unaffected by dependency problems.  Refer to the [WWW] draft guide for 
more details.
