Item 13 - FC updates.

The update list has new updates before they are avail for use.
yum check-update will find the updates but
yum update will not

Currently the Sept 10th updates are still not on available for yum update

It would be a big effort saver if they were not listed untill they are available.

Let me rephase this.
Yum check-update and yum update should be in sync with what shows up.
Then the list need not be referrenced except for history or reinstalling.
A simple yum check-update would be a trigger to plan some yum update soon.
But yum update every on day 1 then day 2 then day 3 would not be needed.
Yes one could simple wait 3 days but some are more important than others.
lib fixes, recompiled fixes, and security fixes need to be on ASAP.

Thanks. Unfortunaltey, I cannot submit the Fedora Weekly News on News category so I currently post it on Fedora Focus. As the result, it becomes harder from readers to see the latest issue.
