My decision was do I keep my system up to date (which it wasn't) or not. I am sure that I am no different to 90% of sysadmins who don't read all release notes before every 'yum update' run. I do have to concede that the update did update a great deal of RPM's and probably some by a number of versions. This no doubt is the reason I now have a reasonable sized number of changes I need to deal with (including keep_environment in EXIM, and journals moving on Dovecot )
