So far in this thread, I see no one stepping to maintain yum in the long
term, just people asking to others to do it.
But having someone volunteering to maintain it would be the solution.
People who want to keep yum forever, just maintain it
what are you talking about?
*nobody* asked that *nobody*
the point is *not* break YUM as name and in documentations
as well as thousands of howtos, articles and books you
can't re-write and gain the missing pieces of compatibility
