I really see no reason to change the policy of updates because of this package.
Think of the horrible time management mess in heterogeneous systems across two continents, where CentOS 6 without CR enabled by default is combined with CentOS 5 (which has already received this update) and other distributions.
If it doesn't affect your personal machines,
Given the figures that you have mentioned, I suspect that my "personal" machines are in the same order of magnitude as yours. And they also span several continents. And we have a clear policy regarding updates. Including pushing "emergency fixes" to those that need it.But our policy does not mandate changes in the distro policy, it gets adapted according to it.
it doesn't mean that it doesn't affect hundreds of thousands of other servers. Anyway, it's too late now, by this time most would cherry-pick this update from CR...
