There is nothing called as "system-install-packages".
System-config-packages has been replaced by Pirut. Been talking to the
relevant developers over this and the design of Pirut is basically to
avoid a laundry list of packages and provide a interface that exposes
the groups as the primary interface. This is sufficiently different from
Yumex to warrant a separate program. A lot of the underlying layers is
already shared and we could look into sharing functionality as
appropriate. Those who want Yumex can always get it from Fedora Extras.
