And I'll ask the same question, again ...
Why not SmartPM then?

Most people don't realize what Smart focuses on.
And they don't realize who developed and is behind Smart.  ;)

# yum list |grep -i smart
fedora-package-config-smart.i386         7-8.1                  updates         
...
smart.i386                               0.50-46.fc7            updates         
smart-gui.i386                           0.50-46.fc7            updates         
...

I haven't checked if Smart fully supports multi-arch (i386 on x86-64),
although I was able to use it on Fedora Core 6 x86-64 and Fedora 7
x86-64 without issues.
