System-config-packages really needs, I would say, requires,

where most of the distribution is not visible from
system-config-packages so the only solution is use RPM from
the command line, while fighting dependencies and trying to
find what CD has the required package.
On a related topic, I agree it would be good to have complete
control over the package selection, what I would like even
better would be the return of the list of additional packages
needed to satisfy the dependencies of the chosen packages.
Often times, one selects a single small package with out
knowing its dependencies and suddenly pulls in a ton of
stuff that was not wanted.
yum does this, I would expect pup would too.
