> 
> * CentOS 3: this is the first release of yum 2.4 for CentOS 3, and we
>   plan to provide this as an optional upgrade through the CentOSPlus
>   repository. We have added code to yum 2.4 for default kernel handling
>   (as setting the default kernel after kernel updates was handled by yum
>   2.0). Additionally, the package also requires the yum C metadata
>   parser.

Daniel,
any plans to pronounce both packages production safe and move to Centos
repo?
Thanks,
David
