For uninstalls, I think we are forced to using rpm, which prompts to

yum works in reverse (uninstalls), quietly, as it does in forward gear
(updates or installs).
This is incorrect. Yum asks for confirmation before deleting anything,
same as it does for installing and updating.
Unless of course you ran "yum -y", or your yum.conf(5) file has been
modified from the default:
assumeyes
Either ‘1’ or ‘0’. Determines whether or not yum prompts for confirmation of
critical actions. Default is ‘0’ (do prompt).
Command-line option: -y
alwaysprompt
Either ‘1’ or ‘0’. Without this option, yum will not prompt for confirmation
when the list of packages to be installed exactly matches
those given on the command line. Unless assumeyes is enabled, it will still
prompt for package removal, or when additional packages need to
be installed to fulfill dependencies. Default is ‘1’.
