That's what I wanted to hear  :)  We're using yum-2.2.x in our RHEL 3
deployments.  We're planning to use yum-2.4.x in our RHEL 4 deployments
in the coming months.  I'd like to be able to integrate some of the core
yum-utils written by you and others on this list and count on bug fixes
in that branch instead of the 2.5.x branch  :-)
