It's in Fedora Extras right now for all systems.  Everything available
via YUM is also available via APT.  "yum install apt"

  - fixing the problems with APT.  No multilib, poor failover, etc.

Search through the fedora-devel-list archives.  There are dozens of
messages discussing why YUM is used rather than APT.

Summary: Yes, YUM isn't perfect.  No, APT can't replace it feature-for-
feature.  Can APT be supported in addition to YUM?  It has always been
in Fedora Extras.
