No, that means the SMART package manager.  SMART is a technology that does 
better dependency checking than urpmi or apt-get, and is package manager 
agnostic, so it can be used with urpmi or apt-get.  In fact, it is already in 
contrib.

Probably what will happen, based on the discussions going on on the Cooker ML, 
is that some of the cool elements of SMART will be integrated into urpmi 
somehow.  But no one thinks urpmi will be ditched for apt-get, especially 
since apt4rpm is, as I understand it, unmaintained.
