And of course as will be pointed out by many the only right answer is yum update anyway given cherry picking updates is not supported.

The objective is not to cherry pick updates, but rather to install a second system with packages that match the first system. After fine-tuning the installed packages and stripping out the unnecessary stuff, it would be nice to just say "make that system look like this one" -- rsync for yum if you will. The specific package versions aren't important at that stage since I can run yum update after the initial installation.
