Because of this fact (as Bryan has pointed out),

I think I'm just going to talk to people off-list and asking getting people to answer for me. Apparently when it comes out of my mouth, instead of being a bunch of technical facts and possible solutions around the pros/cons, it comes out at "Hey everyone, look how smart I am?!?!?! Come worship me!"

And in the famous words of Captain James T. Kirk, "We're busy."

My comment was not meant to be negative. You were correct to point out that yum:

1. Doesn't look at files 2. Creates metadata that is only accurate when it is run.

I was just agreeing with you.
