Not to derail your idea, but is this necessarily anything that `yum --enablerepo=updates-testing --exclude=kernel\* upgrade` wouldn't fulfill? At this point my brain started muttering something about "hey, wouldn't a `yum groupupgrade` command be awesome?" Which led me to look at the yum man page...which fails me. It only has groupupdate. *sad panda* Seth, would `groupupgrade` be a simple add-on? Or just pointless? Not sure if obsoletes are important enough...
