Hi,
Is there work or a proposal on incorporating Priority (TRIVIAL, FEATURE_ENHANCEMENT, BUGFIX, SECURITY, etc.) meta-info into RPM packages? Then it would be a simple thing to do "yum update --priority=SECURITY|BUGFIX". The "Priority" here would of course mean the incremental difference between it and some prior package version.
I was just reminded of the old days when I used to administer Solaris boxes and would be so conservative with changes that only Security type of patches would be applied. --

Note that while the above contains all the code, for updating based on bugzilla numbers, advisories, CVE numbers or security designation. The information is currently not generated past FC-6[1], AFAICS. For more details see:
