Hi Tim,

Will the upgrade path to this version be painful, or will it be as
seamless as possible?
In specific, I'm wondering whether :
- the new yum-plugin-<pluginname> RPM have a provide for
yum-<pluginname> to allow easy upgrades

the new yum-plugin-<name>, provides yum-<name>, so this should still work:
yum install yum-<name>

- where does kernel-module and fedorakmod functionality goes to? Is it
built in on yum?


No, the 'kernel-module' is kind of deprecated and the problem with with kmod is there are more way to do it, so the plugin should match the repos there carry the kmod packages, so these kind of plugins fit better in the repos carrying the kmod, so the can adapt it to the way the kmod are put together in the repo. So I ripped it out from yum-utils upstream, so it can be put into the repos carrying the kmod packages.

Jack Neely has taken upstream of the current kmod plugin
