 Yum has been made many times faster recently (see [1] for one such
 improvement), but we don't have the new version yet.  This bug is to track
 the new version making its way into our build.  Seth Vidal has tested the
 new vs. old yum, with the result that installing a single package took
 1m28 on an XO, rather than the ~15 minutes it took before.
