who cares about what 'they' say?  should we not try to offer the best
possible linux solution to various types of linux users just because of
what 'they' say?

If a yum frontend would be included, would that in any way prevent you
from using CLI yum? I don't think so.  At most, it would take you longer
to get to know about CLI yum because the GUI yum would be more visible
to you from the start... but then again, since you said you would like
to use a terminal as much as possible, you'd find out about the CLI yum
very soon anyway.
