The reason why we carried it in 5.0 etc was since yum-updatesd didnt really do much. If there is anyway to make yum-updatesd run its updates at a specific time, that would completely remove the need / role for yum-cron. Which might be the best result allaround anyway.
You can run newer yum-updatesd's with:
yum-updatesd --oneshot
...from cron. etc. Making it compatible with yum-cron isn't easy though (mainly due to configuration differences).
