Did anybody else notice the install of im clients on practically headless non-gui systems? Any explanation?

We observed something similar. On some systems automatic update installed kernel-xen-devel on some of our systems. Seems like the yum repository metadata was broken at some point in time.

that comes from a problem in the metadata-parser and the yum sqlite interface, only partially resolved in the fastrack update. The problem persists still. 5.4 should bring a more robust fix, for now make sure the metadata is rebuild on each automated run with a yum clean metadata; as the first step.
