I think this is kind of a case of 'the map is the territory'; yum will
warn you about some problems it can detect pre-transaction,
But neither the DVD or Preupgrade will do so,
that is where a test would come in useful.

Then there are problems which wouldn't be package transaction problems,
which are beyond the scope of yum or anaconda, really, to detect / warn
about; the only way we could realistically warn you about those would be
if we knew about them beforehand based on experimental testing,
Being the world it is, you can never have enough testers.
in which
case we'd have to actually do the testing, and we may as well
just fix
the problems rather than write a clever script to warn you about them...
known bugs ;)
