For those impatient to wait for this to hit the updates repo, this worked for me
on F7 to pull it from testing:

  yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install yum-cron

and accept the testing key,.  Probably obvious to many, but I had to look it up.

I have no idea why, but the first run on the first F7 machine I tried it on took
5.5 hours on a 2.5GHz P4 server (to install 41 updates).  That was completely
surprising, as yum never takes that long to do anything but 'yum upgrade' a
distro.  Subsequent runs take a normal amount of time, but this is likely a yum
problem anyway, not a yum-cron problem.
