I agree that Fedora is not RHEL and vice versa. But once any idiom is adopted into one of the two the other will have a very hard time to get by, the bar is raised quite a bit. Whether we like it or not (BTW I like it) the two distributions are closely related and influence each-other. > Therefore, I see no urgency in getting this changed.

Furthermore yum developers want to know what scheme will need to be supported. As argued in the wiki yum support for the current scheme is an endless story, while the new proposed scheme already has it's fully working plugin submitted. Do you really want to see developers burn more time in a lost cause? We could be using that developer time elsewhere. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
