If a yum frontend would be included, would that in any way prevent you from using CLI yum? I don't think so. At most, it would take you longer to get to know about CLI yum because the GUI yum would be more visible to you from the start... but then again, since you said you would like to use a terminal as much as possible, you'd find out about the CLI yum very soon anyway.
