That makes no sense. First of all if it obsoletes yum it will get
pulled in during upgrades and imo it *should*. We don't really want to
end up in a situation where half the users
are using the default packing tool while the other half uses the old one.

Precisely; such splits are always incredibly painful for everyone.

Yes, it would require a more detailed contingency planning, but having upgraded and new systems use a different package manager by the same command name and the same scripts would be a troubleshooting nightmare.
