I would strongly recommend *against* doing such changes in yum.conf.

Yum updates should by default work very well, and by skipping broken packages 
you might introduce some new issues without seeing them so easily.

Rather use --skip-broken on the command line when you can supervise what 
you're doing.  It should be rather seldom you would need to use this option at 
all.
