I often heard word "smart" about up2date. The example from reality: In 
RH9 up2date downloaded new packages and offer KDE user to update system. 
User answers - yes. After update system can't work and can't boot. I 
don't know exactly what happened, but up2date tried to update glibc and 
hanged on this - and this is normal because libc is used everywhere. Why 
up2date is "smart" if it is so stupid to update glibc while KDE and a 
lot of other applications are running?
