When Fedora was born Red Hat severed the up2date capabilities so, at first, 
only those with a bit of knowledge was able to update their systems.

Due to numerous complaints up2date was reinstigated/fixed using yum as its 
back-end. IMHO up2date is too limited for most peoples needs it is what it 
says 'an update mechanisam' where as yum and apt-get/synaptic are system 
maintainers not only can you install and uninstall applications, both new and 
old, but keep things updated as well.
