It's probably worth noting that with the update to yum-3.2.2, the installonlyn plugin's functionality was merged into yum's core. The way to control things with 3.2.2 and later is via installonly_limit in yum.conf. The yum.conf manpage states that this option defaults to 0, which disables the feature. However, the yum rpm applies a patch that sets the default to 2 AFAICT. This change (and the discrepancy in the docs) is sure to bite some folks.
