You hate security fixes?? I can't think of any other reason anyone would do that.

Personally i dont like YUM, I prefer apt-get, the package you dont wanna update is openldap, espesially the server, you could easyly configre apt, to ignore those packages
There is allso a script included to make your own apt repository

The same can be configured in yum.conf with an exclude= line.
Xen Enterprise server uses CentOS 4 and Yum in appliance mode. You can always download the trial of that install and see how they do it.
If I were to setup a CentOS based appliance I would probably config yum for security updates only, exclude kernel updates and then setup my own repository for my appliance RPMs and "allowed" kernel updates that are synchronized with my appliance RPM updates.
