I am not sure if this exists with yum now or not.
My experience has been if something has been around for a while it usually
doesn't break things. Or maybe the correct thing to say is that if it does
break things then there is a newer version fairly soon.
So is there a way to say that I only want updates that are 2 weeks old?
