Now my question is if one of the four packages being merged is up2date. Unless I minunderstand the size and complexity of the needed package merging at least the functionality of redhat-config-packages and up2date, this will be a large endeavor which may need to be done in two stages (release cycles) where some/lots of up2date functionality is there but up2date still exists as a separate package. -- Gene
