Unfortunately this seems to invoke the same series of questions:

Running Transaction
  Installing: fedora-package-config-smart  ######################### [1/2] 
  Installing: smart                        ######################### [2/2] 

Dependency Installed: fedora-package-config-smart.i386 0:8-10 smart.i386 0:0.51-49.fc8
Complete!
[root at vz111 tmp]# smart channel -y --remove-all
New channel 'Fedora - i386 - Development (development)' detected.
Include it? (Y/n): 


Were it possible, I'd not install fedora-package-config-smart, but it's
a dependency of smart itself (and force installing is against my
religion).  Anyway, this problem is clearly a shortcoming in smart.  -y
should answer "yes" to all questions, not "most" questions.
