Not true, APT-RPM has been supporting yum repository metadata (repomd) since
March 2006! So you can use it with all the yum repositories out there just
fine.
The latest development version also has support for the new fast sqlite
metadata supported by Fedora 8's yum, but this is only a performance
optimization, not a requirement, the XML format is still supported by all the
repositories out there.
