I thought that the point of yum was to do automatic dependency
resolution. In 2000, before yum, RPM dependency hell was much worse.

Hear hear! I don't understand the "make everything look like an
iKindlNexusPad" trend. I think it's because somebody somewhere decided
that tablets are the awesome hip cool thing, so everything must look
like them, no matter what that does to functionality or usability. And
putting touch screens on vertically mounted monitors seems like a bad
idea, at least if http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/G/gorilla-arm.html is
anything to go by. Mice may be deprecated at some point, since
everybody will obviously have a FooTablet and use it for everything in
the future.
