Yum I'm a lot closer to trusting than apt.  I'm using yum on a few places, 
just to see how it holds up.  So far I'm impressed, but I haven't done much 
else.

I'm more distrusting of 3'rd party repositories so really the only time I'd 
have need for a yum/apt like application is when up2date gets locked down and 
I'm on a server/workstation w/out a paid entitlement.

Rest assured, it's nothing personal, I'm just rather paranoid.  Your code may 
very well be very fine, but it'll take a lot before I trust it.
