I liked to use smart before.
Once I needed it to solve dependencies i could not use urpm* to solve.
It do give better overlook, and it have more efficient downloading, so i kept 
using it for a while.

Nowadays i just use urpmi to avoid any problems a less maintained program 
might have, but have smart installed just in case urpmi would break.

It would be great if urpmi could be given an advanced mode where dependencies 
are better displayed, bla, bla... and maybe for speed split into a downloader 
working continously and from more than one server concurrently, and another 
part that installs when packages and dependencies are down (instead of 
waiting for servers, slow downloads, or while install are being done)


How compatible is rpm5 to build system and installers?
Is it possible to begin the move gradually or must it be changed in one big 
step?
