Note that the "protect=0" is needed for priorities to work.

This is only true if you have both the yum-protectbase and yum-priorities plugins installed, in which case you should remove the protectbase plugin - it is recommended that you _not_ run both together.

Yeah, but I'm all for flexibility. I tested and found I could leave both installed. I tested and found that just disabling protect and setting priorities worked as I wanted.

So I ignored the "remove it" suggestions that abound and just disabled. AFAICT, this is equivalent to "remove it" except that I can switch modes more easily.
