Comment(by bernie):

 > Is there any chance that installing the packages directly using rpm will
 confuse 'yumdownloader --resolve' later?  If not, I'd say let's install
 using rpm.  I'm not sure developers will quickly embrace a solution which
 adds almost 4 minutes to their upgrade process.

 Nope, yum does not store any additional information about the installed
 packages besides what's in the rpmdb.

 Installing packages directly with rpm does not interfere with future yum
 operation.
