You are correct.  Thanks for pointing that out.
It was a year an a half ago when I put out our version of yum-utils. 
Our version is the exact same, but has more plugins and utilies which 
RHEL takes out.  I had forgotten how I was changing the version scheme 
for yum-utils.
I'll fix that up and get it pushed out in next weeks fastbug rollout.
