Dragoran,
 Yes, your question was apropos and while my answer was terse it was not
intended as rude. This last week my life has been spent dealing with
checking systems for DST-compliance and looking for a new place to
live. :) So, I've not had much time to spend on yum depsolver work. We
WILL have it functional before the release or we WILL fallback. There
isn't an option, imo.
