Oracle wants to install YAST on RHEL

[Shaughnessy, Kevin]

Our Red Hat systems are dedicated Oracle DB engines clustered with
Oracle's RAC software.  The DBA administers via the Oracle Enterprise
Manager GUI, which now wants to install Oracle's port of YAST.  It
contains over a 100 .RPM modules.  From the packages.list, in sorted
order:
		aaa_base-9.1-*.rpm
		autoyast2-installation-2.9.45-*.rpm
		fillup-1.42-*.rpm        
		hwinfo-8.99-*.rpm
		ldapcpplib-0.0.3-*.rpm
		libxcrypt-2.1.90-*.rpm
		liby2util-2.9.24-*.rpm  
		netcat-1.10-*.rpm  
		nmbstatus-1.11-*.rpm
		perl-Config-Crontab-1.03-*.rpm
		perl-Crypt-SmbHash-0.02-*.rpm
		perl-Digest-MD4-1.3-*.rpm
		perl-gettext-1.01-*.rpm
		perl-Parse-RecDescent-1.80-*.rpm
		perl-X500-DN-0.28-*.rpm
		powertweak-0.99.5-*.rpm
		powertweak-extra-0.99.5-*.rpm
		testutf8-1.0-*.rpm
		xmset-1.2-*.rpm
		yast2-2.9.75-*.rpm
		yast2-bootloader-2.9.22-*.rpm
yast2-ldap-client-2.9.29-*.rpm  \
		yast2-control-center-2.9.11-*.rpm
		yast2-core-2.9.94-*.rpm
		yast2-country-2.9.24-*.rpm
		yast2-dhcp-server-2.9.23-*.rpm
		yast2-dns-server-2.9.24-*.rpm
		...
		yast2-tune-2.9.22-*.rpm
		yast2-update-2.9.27-*.rpm yast2-inetd-2.9.12-*.rpm
yast2-network-2.9.57-*.rpm \
		yast2-users-2.9.39-*.rpm yast2-pam-2.9.13-*.rpm
yast2-security-2.9.14-*.rpm \
		yast2-x11-2.9.11-*.rpm
		yast2-xml-2.9.8-*.rpm

Your opinions on adding YAST?  
I have no trashable systems and no bare-metal restore capabilities.


Thanks,
