Similarly, yum is not entirely analagous to up2date given that the primary mode of up2date use is graphical which yum doesn't have. pup provides a graphical frontend to yum for getting updates and we have some ideas on notification of updates being available (which is analagous to the rhn-applet). This will likely take advantage of pup much like rhn-applet uses up2date. The hope is that we'll get there for FC5, but it's largely dependent on time.
