gnorpm is not missing. It's been removed, on purpose.
redhat-config-packages is ment to REPLACE it.
Just as redhat-config-xfree86 REPLACES Xconfigurator.

Please don't spread FUD.

It's working great for me. Some new tools and new
configs to learn. Like GNOME2 and XFT2/fontconfig.

But fairly stable so far.
Upgrades go well. Like all previous releases have.
Just check the log afterwards and update new files.

'find / -name "*.rpm*" ' is helpfull to find
new configfiles that may need adjusting.
