up2date doesn't
	-	Include new package selection 
	-	Have a graphical interface to mirror selection/addition
	-	Get the download size data right
	-	Multithread its gui nicely

and lots of other things where it should really look somewhere half between
system-config-packages and up2date. up2date does however also do local files
and stuff so might be a good starting point ?
