The one that matters is that fedora isn't suitable for machine that need 
to be stable and reliable.  I've always thought that a quick, easy 
solution to most surprises would be to let yum take a date/time option 
and ignore all updates after that time.  That way you could stay almost 
up to date on your critical machines while watching the mail list for 
complaints by people with the newer changes.  And, you could update a 
test machine and after testing, reliably update other boxes to the same 
versions that you tested even if new updates had gone in the repository.
