I probably could, but I have better things today, so I just update it any way...

Maybe yum could be modified and packages could have some way of
grading updates?  You know, some updates might be very important from
a security or stability point of view, while others might be some
where in between a minor change and a major change?

I am sure it could be, but weather it is really a good idea or not is
for the developers to decide.
