Please keep in mind that yum-3.0.x and 3.2.8 have had quite a few issues, and in our testing within CentOS we found yum 2.4.x to be the best release to use on CentOS-4.

Having said that while the main distro yum wont move from 2.4.x - these might make for a good centosplus addition in c4. I'm guessing most of your porting work was to adapt to the older python and the slightly different rpm on c4, How much of that could be pushed back upstream ?

Will upstream even accept anything like this on EL4 anymore? Isn't it too late in the cycle for feature additions?
