That would be a nice thing for sure, but would really depend on the
inclusion of some sort of --continue-on-failure functionality of yum. It
makes no sense to provide a "security updates only" option, if the 20
security updates in there could potentially be held back because of a
dep problem with one of them.
I've said this a thousand times over and I'll say it again. I would
*much* rather have 1 package with a known security problem (held back
because of a dep issue with that package), than 20.
