i do not know when  seth  started with yum
but rhn-applet and up2date are doing a good job since a few years for me


$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
$ rpm -qf `which rhn-needed-packages up2date`
rhn-applet-1.0.6-11
up2date-gnome-2.8.40-3.7.3



on fc1

$ rpm -q up2date yum rhn-applet
up2date-4.1.21-3
yum-2.0.5-1
rhn-applet-2.1.4-3
