Obviously if a number of people have this same problem, one would think you would be attempting to resolve the issue so you don't have as many people asking over and over again rather than arguing vehemently with them. Surprise, surprise, people use many different types of software, and guess what? Not all software that might be wanted is located in one repo. And Yum would very well be easy to fix and resolve some of the major issues here. Either you want Fedora to be in use, or you don't. If even sysadmins like myself find the software a pain to use, they may very well go elsewhere - you may say fine to that, but then you might soon find yourself a lone wolf with no one supporting Fedora anymore. I'd like to resolve this issue myself but due to temporal deficiencies am unable. Simple solution to merely get Yum to use one or the other repo for a package group though, and notify of conflicts. Save yourself rsi from arguing with users every few weeks...
