 This is Fedora. Security updates can come with new features, that's
life. You can have zero updates for a package, and then do a rebase to
fix a security problem and also Require: the latest versions of
everything else in updates for all I care.
 The security problem is _fixed_ though, so your system is secure, and
that's all that --security guarantees (and it has made "minimal"
updates, it's just that "minimal" is bigger than with say RHEL/CentOS).
