Well , some of the devel guys used to read and answer questions on the 
list until some time ago.. looks like they are too busy working on FC2 
right now..
I believe that the current decision is to make yum/up2date/apt 
compatible with each other. According to some old messages on the devel 
list (posted just after FC1 was released) , this is the current project 
that the main developers for yum and apt are working on. The common file 
structure has been discussed already and there's some tests being done 
behind the scenes, so it may be just a matter of time before they become 
compatible with each other..
