RE: Using YUM to manage S/W distros other than linux

Reaching the architecture review stage of my little project and rpm and
yum are still on the table. I decided to review this small thread and
came across

"if the os is managed by rpm all of the above are possible."

I may be mis-reading this but why would the OS have to be managed by rpm
to make the 'above' (now below) possible? I have whittled and hammered
down to red hat only OS support, for now, and rpm and yum are being used
on the target systems but I don't understand why the OS would have to be
managed by rpm to use rpm to transport other data.

Thanks
