[ydl-gen] stuff

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Chris:

Background:  Some years ago I recall that it was advised to not use  
yum in the way you recommended.  Yum when used to erase anything was  
so thorough it removed not only the target application but also  
whatever dependencies it used and dependencies related to them.   
Resulting in a crippled system.  This problem happened to me several  
times... the safest way I found around using yum to remove anything  
was to use rpm -e instead.

Question:  Has this situation regarding yum changed or been corrected?

Thanks for your time in clarifying this.

Sincerely, Derick.
