I agree that there are couple of things about this that needs more Windows installer like behavior especially with packages that can have an impact on locked links or libraries. And it is the main reason I never do automatic updates.

And so it would be good that if packages were upgraded then rpm should detect that a link or library was not updated and upon next reboot overwrite them as required and restart services if required.

And should be upgraded in runlevel 3

(Sorry forgot to mention that)

Services like mysql and cyrus-imap should be stopped before the update begins and later restarted after completed.
