There have been tools like miniconda. I've been down this path a bit and you hit a single fundamental near-insoluble problem - up2date/yum/rpm. They burn resources and need some major rework at the rpm level - work that nobody afaik is assigned to do (I suspect we are talking full time engineer on such work). apt + dpkg on the other hand sucks in lots of other ways but works.
