One thing I like about yum is the merge-conf plugin.  Finally, I don't have to 
review all the (installed as .rpmnew) crap (at least, if I run 
interactively).  I wish smart had this option.

If you don't know, it will at the end of the yum update, for each conf file 
which resulted in either .rpmnew or .rpmsave, will prompt the user 
(interactively):

Do you want to:

1) keep the original?
2) Perform the rpm default action?
... some other options.
