It is the only fact I know about it that makes it special. I do not really 
know what it does, but as far as I understand it is like yum-cron, except 
that it triggers an action not periodically but via an dbus-event, e.g. when 
the yum metadata was refreshed or when the system got network access. But I 
do not really know which package is it, but this is what I experienced on 
live systems and it seems to match the description.
