No, that's an exaggeration, the majority of the Fedora smart users are
very happy about this feature, and the ones whining about it are
usually non-smart users at all and will never become such, because
their bitching is due to political my-depsolver-is-better-than-your-
depsolver issues. We had that with apt and we see that again with
smart.

So as soon as you try to make them happy, they find something else
that smart supposedly is doing wrong and should be doing differently.

Something that strikes in particular in this discussion is that yum is
not capable of considering past releases of a package at all due to
design bugs (it throws all "unneccessary" old packages out of the
first pass calculation). So what's easier than to declare a bug to a
feature :)
