"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009:
Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki (PackageManagement/Yum?Priorities) without any explanation why yum-priorities isn't a good idea. yum-priorities doesn't appear in RHEL 5.4 but protectbase does. Is that the better choice and if so why?
