This makes perfect sense. And I was thinking... Having just done:

	# rpm -ivh http://download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/4/updates/$HOSTTYPE/legacy-yumconf-4-2.fc4.noarch.rpm

Which involved a bit of copy/paste to ensure I got the URL correct. Would 
it be possible in fc6 or fc7 to add the legacy-yumconf as an optional 
package in either core or extras? Then, in 2008 or whenever those core 
releases go to pasture, the transition could be as smooth as:

	# yum -y install legacy-yumconf
