impotent RHN tool?

[Marc Williams]

Am I correct in assuming that the RHN Alert Notification Tool is
worthless except that it provides an easy GUI method of launching
up2date?  If so, are there plans to make it work?

I received an announcement for a pstack update via the fedora-announce
list but my Alert tool never did notify me.  If there's any good news in
this it's that up2date functioned as expected in actually retrieving and
installing the pstack update.
