Why do we even need fedup ?

I already upgraded 2 machines with yum distro-sync w/o many issues[1].
I do not understand why there isn't work on making a yum plugin if
something out of the ordinary needs to be done to upgrade instead of
coming up with new tools every time.

Simo.

[1] One issue with policykit (on both machines) where it wouldn't work
and slow down login and many other operations resolved simply with 'yum
reinstall PolicyKit'
