A detailed discussion of these utilities doesn't fall within the scope
of this document. However, a glossing of how to create a gpg keypair,
and how to check files with both gpg and md5sum will be added shortly.
You can use my page on the
fedoraproject.org wiki as a jumping off point
to save some time if you wish:

True. However, I specifically said this for yum because I can think of
environments in which the user would NOT want updates to be run every
night automatically. Perhaps I can make a comment here that would be a
little more clear to that end.
Interestingly, a related thread came up on fedora-legacy-list just
recently. Some people running automatic updates on production Fedora
servers -- I know, I know... not a good idea! -- were recently
inconvenienced by a mysql-server upgrade that killed the service without
a proper restart. (Sorry, I don't remember the exact details.)
I wouldn't put anything about this in your guide; I merely thought your
comment was definitely on target.

Or, in a more stylistically pleasing manner: ;-)
"Depending on your system requirements, you may want to disable some of
the following services: ..."
