OK, apply this patch please

it adds an exception so that the yum will work normally if no
implementation is present

+        try:
+            manager = MediaManager()
+        except NotImplemented:
+            # yumRepo will catch this
+            raise yum.Errors.MediaError, "media handling is not
implemented"

and it adds some comments to your modified version of yumMediaManager
and it adds a hal version as a proof of concept which derives from the
dummy implementation

any one who wants to test it he should replace

from yumMediaManager import MediaManager
with
from yumMediaManagerHAL import MediaManagerHAL as MediaManager

and when some implementation is added (using GIO) it would be
from yumMediaManagerGIO import MediaManagerGIO as MediaManager

and same for DeviceKit
