OK, I tried updating to the latest (selecting everything BUT fedora-release) 
and since up2date was selected, it did that first.  After up2date was 
restarted, it tried to update from rawhide via yum (I do not have yum 
installed).  Furthermore, the list of available updates differs between 
server-updates and rawhide (no kernel update in rawhide).

Now I realize this is beta testing and things will break but if you want us to 
use rhn to update/test things then this needs to be handled more carefully 
(yesterday including fedora release and today switching to rawhide for the 
source).

I have not found any documentation for /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and the 
up2date-config program does not address this.  I realize that using update to 
install these frequent updates is not really what it was designed to do but 
it is being used in that manner.  Trying to locate older versions of programs 
to fix/correct suddenly broken/changed packages so that we can proceed with 
testing is not easy.  It would be useful to have up2date NOT delete packages 
after they are installed.  I realize that I can get this by not automatically 
installing packages but it is convenient to have up2date do the installs.
