Yum is a bit of a poor mans apt. I don't really know why RH are still
persisting with it.

Anyhow, really just wanted to point out that I guess the reporting
system you are talking about is http://kerneloops.org/
If so that's, IMHO, a nice initiative by the kernel developers to get
more debug information and therefore fix more problems when peoples
systems oops.

I do, however, agree that if you've removed the kerneloops stuff it
should _stay_ removed. *sigh* C'mon Fedora!
