I agree that keeping BlueLinQ doesn't hurt. 

However, I don't see PKGs delivered through BlueLinQ as a good substitute or 
addition to YUM. With correctly build RPMs served through YUM one can update 
whatever aspects one wants to update, while leaving those parts untouched that 
don't need to be updated. Still, PKGs are a good way to deliver multiple RPMs 
in one go.
