We are defaulting to yum repositories.  Keeping the other programs
available keeps all our options open for the future.

At this time, RHN does not have Fedora channels.  Even if that were
to change, the update process for Fedora is different from the errata
process for Red Hat's OS products, so RHN would be a source of updates,
not really the management tool you are used to.
