not entirely. Being a front end to yum, just like being a front end to
apt, would make for an EXTREMELY complex interface. Gui programs that
are merely front ends to cli programs are typically not-so-good. If you
need any evidence of that look at all the programs that try to wrap
mkisos and cdrecord. They're a nightmare. But then you look at something
like the nautilus cd burning interface and it's reasonably
straightforward.
