[CentOS] OpenSSL Update - not a security update???

I understand that some people might be trying to cherry-pick their
updates and the assertion that doing so is not supported. But that is
not the only way in which --security can be used and it is a bit boring
to continually see whining about the assumptive use.
For me it is about scheduling -- it would answer the question: Does this
system need updating immediately, vs scheduled for / deferred until a
convenient time.
I wish --security was functional and I do not accept that because it can
be abused that it should therefore never be. That CentOS as yet has no
way to make it functional is sad, and I hope that the lack is not due to
the assumed use resulting in it being ignored.
