Would it not be better to work with yum upstream to make the current yum
depsolver more modular so you could plugin another libsolv based depsolver,
instead of making a fork of yum and starts trashing the current API. There
is a lot more to yum, that just solving dependencies. And making a fork
there is not fully compatible will put a lot of work on your shoulders :)
without the benefit on the work done by yum upstream :) like parallel
download etc.

I can't give a date yet, but following the FESCo approval of the feature I
made review requests today:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/**show_bug.cgi?id=833462<https://bugzilla....
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/**show_bug.cgi?id=833511<https://bugzilla....
Just don't hold your fingers crossed that anyone can use this to replace
yum with. Not only that a subset of the full yum functionality is supported
(see the thread about 'yum history'), but the plugins API etc. is not ready
either.
ATM it is just what it is: an experimental fork of Yum using libsolv
inside.
