Of course there's a bit of chicken & egg problem here. Users won't notice
the speed/memusage improvements during the big update from F8 to F9 (if 
doing a live in-place upgrade) because that will be done using the F8 
version of YUM. One of the interesting features of the RHN client was
that the first thing it did was look to see if there was an update of 
itself, apply that and then re-exec itself to do the rest of the upgrade.
So the bulk of work for any package upgrade was always done with latest
update client.
