> I can't think of any case where a routine update caused trouble for me. I second this. Since about 2002, I've had a growing number of machines (ent Linux, similar to fedora) who simply patch nightly via cron. I get mail on the changes. In 24 years of `yum-cron` I've seen one error (busted deps on cobbler) and caused one error (too-old smb.conf during an update) and that's it. So, my fuck-up aside, the only issue I've seen with a yum-cron patching setup (in dev/test and homelab) in ~25 years is exactly one issue on boxes running a mainstream but not prevalent piece of software due to a packaging glitch. That's it.
