My clients bring in select updates into their YUM Custom Repos or Red
Hat Network (RHN) Satellite Server Custom Channels, and rarely tap the
repo directly. But there could be some putting the EPEL YUM Repo
directly into their yum.conf/yum.repos.d.
We have pulled EPEL directly in some cases, but still, we don't apply
updates without really looking into them. I think that's more what I
was trying to ask. I hope people aren't just running yum-cron or 'yum
-y update' in cron on EL. I mean, from a maintainers perspective,
having to have Nagios3 and Nagios isn't fun. From a client
perspective, you'd probably like both. You'd HATE it if you went from
2->3 and it broke all your monitoring, because you might not catch
that for a while...

You already know Red Hat as the entity dedicated to 100%
no-IP-strings-attached, community software development.
But do you know where CIOs rate Red Hat versus other
software and services firms for their own, direct needs?
It's no comparison: http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/
