      Your point is well taken.  However, the general focus of the
discussions have focused upon the initial and continueing need for a
workable solution to upgrading, maintaining, and modifying FC4. 
RHPM and yum are better than most other distros' methods, in my
experience.  Now we need to move forward and select a more
integrated approach to the problem.  One that is even more user
friendly, without sacrificing reliability.
      The forum has a number of concrete suggestions.  Winnowing may now
be possible.
