[ATrpms-devel] yum kmdl plugin

[Tako Schotanus]

With all the talk about this yum-plugin I was wondering Axel: is yum 
again a viable and trustworthy option for keeping your system up-to-date?

I'm asking because for a long time you seemed to consider it one of the 
worst. So how does it compare nowadays to apt and smart?

Cheers,
 -Tako
