 Although, for similar reasons, you may want to seriously think about
using a rebuild of the yum-3.2.22-20 rpm from RHEL-5.4.

Doesn't most relevant changes on yum from RHEL are contributed back to
upstream? In that sense, wouldn't the latest version of yum (3.2.25?)
be the one that has more bugfixes?


sure - but sometimes it is better to have consistent versions than to have the highest version.

To stress this claim, notice the minor version on RHEL package (20). That means (should anyway) that someone made 20 fixes/additions/changes to pollish that version, and new version might have new stuff that has bugs need fixing.

This is exact reason why RHEL/CentOS is so stable and bleeding edge distros have so much bugs and unstability.


not exactly in the case of yum.

I know reasonably well the set of patches in the yum in rhel5.4 -all the stuff that matters are upstream.
