No worries.  It was merely an observation (and since I'm neither a bird nor a
non-flying dinosaur with vestigial feathers, they can't be ruffled; BONUS!).

I simply didn't understand how you got all the way to "everyone" based on the
replies not being consistenly against -y, and felt moved to add my own two
cents, those being that I do use -y in some situations but not in others.  I
felt this added a new nuance, not yet voiced, to the conversation.

I didn't explain myself fully previously, and it shows based on your follow
up question, although I admit being confused when you subsequently followed
up on your follow up question with "don't answer".  To be sure, when I use -y
manually it's because I've already seen what yum is going to do ("yum list
updates" before "yum update") and I am around to fix any unforeseen problems
immediately.

Cheers,
