The person who's not willing to do any updates is a very dangerous person 
(think security updates, and also consider the fact that we don't really 
support selective updates, so pulling only security updates isn't that good 
a plan either; I know we technically have yum-security, but if somebody 
files a bug about my security update not working with some ancient version 
of some other package, I'll just file it away as NOTABUG with the comment 
"yum update", and I know I'm not alone in that).
