what does *not* matter in case of "yum distro-sync" because it does also
downgrades and if fedup has a problem with it the people who say
yum is not officially supported (while no support in any case exists)
should ask theirself who in the world needs fedup instead keep
fous on *one* well working tool

besides the fact that yum-upgrades are most times better
yum is used and tested every single day from thousands
of users while "fedup" no normal user touchs half a year
