Yes, then lets say "installing". I regularly get complains from Rawhide 
users why other stuff is broken after they upgraded some rpms from Rawhide 
thats why I'm a bit allergic to that stuff ;)

Yeah, but those might have other dependencies which need to be upgraded as 
well. 

I recently had to update a php rpm on one Redhat machines and had 
to download almost 60% of all installed rpms (which took almost a day) 
to satisfy the dependencies. 

Anyway, I do understand that this is on purpose, and people using Redhat and 
rawhide should know what they're doing. 

Sorry, don't feel provocated.
