yum is intimately tied to rpm, so a Debian person could make the same complaint about that, it's probably not a reasonable thing to complain about either way. Packaging is an area that is part of what defines the differences between the types of distro and the gulf is too wide to interoperate over much (alien aside).

Be interesting to know the genesis of that idea and the implementation of the feature though. This small feature has made a large positive PR impact for Ubuntu on Digg today. Somehow that isn't happening for Fedora. Maybe it is because it is Redhat (and now a second exclusionary layer of packager-only mailing list) stops people feeling a sense of ownership and inclusion... that they're willing to feel for another corporate entity? Dunno.
