What about using LVM to store a pre-update snapshot of your distro?
(Separate root partition from /home and other stuff, of course. Roll
back root).
Highly inconvenient, but it would theoretically work...

Seriously:
yum downgrade
and in F12 - try out things like the history undo options.
there are lots of potential nasty situations that can happen but I think the
general consensus was 'screw it, let the user sort it out if it breaks,
which it often does not'
generally, if the app you updated modifies its data format and cannot revert
it then the user is SOL - but that's not _THAT_ common and when it does
happen it's certainly not yum's fault.
