No, just pointing out the fallacy of false correlation:

"I ran auto-update and had a problem, therefore doing auto-update is
always bad."

The conclusion doesn't follow from the observation.

Running the yum auto-updater is 100% A-OK for the vast majority of
people, and it's the recommended course to take when setting up a
Fedora system.  Sure, a small percentage of people have had an issue
with it (a small and vocal percentage here, for example).  That means
it's the wrong course for those that had an issue.

Yum auto-updates is exactly what most people should be doing.
