Wrong. apt4rpm is maintained (By Richard Bos and by me).
Apt-rpm has has less attention than before, because the principal apt-
rpm maintainer is the author of smart. That does not mean apt-rpm is

So Fedora development is going to concentrate on supporting a live upgrade, then yum is likely to be a better choice than apt.
True, except that yum has not yet reached a shape to be usable for "live updates".
