Does yum do unattended downloads without installing? Think a cronjob
Does yum get source for a package?

Most of the extra features in yum I care less about than the ability to 
have updates downloaded and ready when I want to update the system. 
Almost everyone needs to download the updates, and I think everone who 
tries it will find "up2date -fud" a great convenience for day-to-day 
maintenance.
Yum has some great conveniences too, but I find those it lacks overwhelming.

"Yum is so much better than up2date" that I use the latter.
