Actually up2date does have a "sort of" add new packages capability although it
does not work well since you need to have an outstanding update available to
get it to work. The "--show-package-dialog" command line option whill show
all available packages after the one which displays available updates.
I agree that something needs to be done to provide a single, overall gui tool
to update, install, and/or remove packages. There was some discussion about
this on the fedora-config-list but nothing has come of it. There was mention
of a new design underway which more or less combined up2date and
system-config-packages but the mentioned design has never been published ...
I suspect that getting FC2 working and out the door took priority. There was
some design stuff published last Novermber:
