Maybe. If they don't happen in normal Fedora installs, then I'd think you'd
only want to do it if you have a suggested fix that will work for OLPC and
not break things for Fedora. Otherwise the usage case is out of scope.
If you haven't read the article linked to in the ticket about why not to use
yum with XOs, you really should.
So the "no yum updates" is more aimed at deployments so random updates
don't cause undue pain for deployments with tens of thousands of
units. That's not to say it shouldn't be done for an average Fedora
user. I do it by standard and as per standard Fedora your mileage may
vary and if it breaks you get to keep both pieces :-)
I documented what you need to do to ensure you get all updates you
want (ie you don't want the kernel ;-) ) here
