Ideas for a new Fedora apt/yum/up2date hierarchy

[Maynard Kuona]

I was thinking. I do not always need to update to the latest versions of 
software "for the hell of it" especially if it is something I do not use 
much. But some things, like security updates I like to keep up to date 
with, pun not intended. So, I am proposing an idea for Fedora's 
repository heirarchy. It would be good to be able to apply only the 
security updates, so maybe these could have their own 'channel' for lack 
of  better word. This is especially useful if you have minimal 
bandwidth, but would like security updates quite conveniently. One could 
also hae a cron job that checks for security updates. I do not know if 
there is a way of doing this with apt or yum or up2date, i.e, selecting 
a specific channel to download updates from. So maybe a little 
modification for apt would be in order, i.e, introduce apt-get upgrade 
<channel-name> to download all updates from a specific channel.To get 
security updates one would type apt-get upgrade security, or something 
like that. This should also not require a change on the server side too.
