I purposed it a couple of times to Jeremy, most of the things pirut and 
yumex does, is the same, installing package groups and find and 
install/remove selected packages. there are both build on the top of the 
yum api, but there is some differences.
pirut tries to be more simple, with the same look as the package 
selection as in anaconda.
Yumex add more advanced features like selecting what repositories to use 
and also it is more verbose (I like to see what is going on ) and i have 
tried to made it as responsive as possible. (I have done some ugly 
threaded stuff to update gui).
A merge would be fine to me, but it is mostly about where we want to go 
with the package manager in Fedora, do we want a simple tools or do we 
want tools with lot of possibilities for the more advanced user.
