How are they going to help the user to do the right thing - updating the software?. There should only be references to to names that are in front of the user somewhere else, like applications names. Maybe some understandable abstraction over core stuff. Further simplification would be a gnome update showing up as a single update ie "Gnome 2.22.1". Instead of 20+ names that end up being 20+ choices to make. The problem isn't that bad in fedora as it is in debian :( (package splitting). PS: You only allow livejournal comments.... maybe it's only people with livejournal accounts, that are capable of relevant feedback - but i doubt it ;). Very nice work.
