I think the simple answer is one of history.  up2date has been the sole
method of updating Red Hat Linux boxes (except perhaps goold old-fashioned
ftp and rpm) for many releases.  Yum is a brand new addition to the
recent Fedora line.  All the GUIs and such just haven't been converted
over to a yum-version yet.  I suspect this will change eventually as
yum matures and continues to replace up2date....perhaps even in FC4?
