Hey, let's not get carried away; this is not a OS-level change, it's, in
effect, simply just another UI frontend for yum, not much different from
pirut/pup, yumex, whatever except that it's designed to solve the
problem in a much nicer way (at least some of us think) both from a
technical point and an user experience point of view. There's no reason
to fear change.
