As an "experiment" (my opinions are usually based on direct observation,
and reviewed periodically) I'm currently running a production F8 machine
with yum check-update daily; the constant stream of updates are impressive
... no, wait, what's that other word?  Probably depressing.  (And this is
after I've stripped a lot of packages from it; I'd hate to think what it
would be like fully loaded with packages).

There is that - my vixie-cron bug got fixed within a few days (I don't
know if the fix has made it out of testing yet, but I've already applied
it so I won't see it stream in through the usual update channel), but it
helps when you point them to exactly where the bug lies or provide the
fix yourself.  :-)
