Unix tools should keep quiet unless an error occurs.
If yum fails for some reason, you should know, either through an e-mail
or by some other means.
If you need to watch yum to make sure it works, you should consider
filing a bug to make it more noisy on errors.

pup won't notice a yum update. This needs to be bugzillaed.

Security updates are released every 1440 minutes (daily),
Checking for updates every five minutes is overkill.

pup is aimed at making security updates simple for non-technical people.
A lot of technical people seem to want to make pup into a graphical yum,
which means we will later need yet another program that aims to be aimed
at non-technical people.
