An alternative would be to tag updates within a single repo in a way
that yum and PackageKit understand and have appropriate configuration
options to enable certain types of update, which would really be much
the same situation, just organized slightly differently.
We already tag updates as either security, bugfix, or enhancement.
yum-security would only install the security ones. However what was
yesterday's security update can become today's enhancement update, so
you'd have to consume the enhancement in order to get the security fix.
Likewise tomorrow's security fix may be built against yesterday's
enhancement for something else, so in order to get the security for A
you have to get the enhancement for B.
