Would it be possible to add RedHat's Up2Date program/feature to E-Smith?  This is due to the fact that Blades are taking so long to be released, and RedHat frequently releases security fixes and bug fixes (like the Cron Warning that shipped with SME v5, and the Service Pack did not fix it).  With this program, RedHat searches all RPMs and dependencies and updates and automatically installs the upgrades.
This saves much time and is less risky for unexperienced Linux users.  It also insures that the server is protected and up to date.

Please consider this, as it should be possible with E-Smith being based on RedHat.

Thanks,
