It would be very useful, yes. the problem is - where does that 
information come from ? And what are the Terms of use for this source 
and how we reimplement something of this nature without violating the 
Terms and AUP's etc.

A couple of efforts have been made to work around this issue - one of 
which is ongoing ( I cant provide too many details at this time ). But 
if Red Hat were to stop changing their AUP's it would help!
