Hmmm...is the 'up2date' package GPL'ed?  Maybe the community would
consider patching it so it *does* work with other sites (I can understand
why only paying customers should only be allowed to use the priority FTP
site, but 'up2date' sounds like a good idea for everybody, so why not??)

If it is *not* under GPL, then why is Red Hat distributing the package
(and installing it by default) on non-boxed sets of Red Hat?
