It's a good idea.
A GUI means of updating the skip file has already been suggested.
I'm not familiar with the code, so I can't say how easy it would be to add, but
I think such a change should eventually happen.
It would probably be easier to add in rpmdrake, where every update is presented
individually.
(I might eventually do it myself.)
