Yes, but it is the insane quest for perfection that has prevented
a trivial technique from catching 99.999% of the problems:

Just run a test "yum update" on a virtual machine that has selected
every selectable package during the install. Only when that test update
from a test repo works cleanly would the updates actually be pushed
to the real repo.
