While I would love to see yum included I cannot see it happening (someone please prove me wrong). Last time I checked RedHat had this nice thing they call Satelite server. I have heard that it costs approx $36,000.00 USD just for the software. That does not include hardware or an Oracle license. I just cannot come up with a set of conditions where Red Hat would include something like Yum which can be setup to do basically the same thing for free. Having recently sat through one of Red Hat's marketing sessions for "Satelite Server" the whole time I was there I kept thinking why would anyone buy this when things like yum are available tor free. The only reason I could come up with was that big corporate customers like big $$$$ solutions.
