Your program seems very good. I'm going to try it for sure...

Regarding the so called wishlist queues, i think that is causing some slow evolution of fedora. The blocking of some basic and really needed features, like the gnome menu editing, is putting fedora some steps behind. If testing versions are always being released why not activate those features, those that are really needed. Everyone knows that they aren't expected to work at 100%.

Our general policy (for final releases, not test releases) is that if something is totally busted it's better to just turn it off. It looks worse to have broken functionality than to have missing functionality.

I know - that s why i wonder what up2date is still doing in core...

An option could ofcource be (if it dont have to be compiled out/in) to make it possible to turn it on (through preferences - or maybe even just gconf) - and attach a big, fat, and generally ugly warning to the checkbox.
