Yep, I installed the newer yum to get the more efficient metadata
representation. (The tricky part was that one has to hand-update any
customized yum.conf to include the new /etc/yum.d files, as yum.conf is
marked noreplace. But this might have been addressed in more recent
packages by a post scriptlet.)
Eventually FC3 will move to Legacy and will need this, so effort to set up
the mechanism wouldn't be wasted.
