yum --color=never

Feature request:

In scanning an estate of servers run by different sysadmins, colorized output to yum has resulted in failed parsing.

E.g.

[Apr 20 11:25:35] ERROR [localhost] Failed to scan. err: root@serverb.example.com:22: Failed to parse yum check-update. err: Unknown format: at.x86_64 3.1.10-48.el6 repo-name-server-6-base

Perhaps some input validation can detect control characters produced by yum and an appropiate error produced for the user ? Or a mention in the documentation. Perhaps this post is enough.

Many thanks for the fixes so far.
