I was wondering why fedora has choosen yum over apt-get

[Stephen Smoogen]

These are the probable reasons:
A) Seth works at Duke in North Carolina. A proportion of Red Hat works
at Raleigh in North Carolina. 
B) yum is written in python and so fits with the core Red Hat tool-kit
of writing all tools in python.

While most conspiraicies would have that Red Hat considers 'apt as the
tool of the Debil'.. I think the 2 above are much more likely.
