Hopefully we won't have broken packages, so we won't have to fix them.
As far as I see it there would be only two sources of concern to me, two situations I would not be able to deal with:
1. A broken rpm package. As long as rpm works everything is fine and dandy with me. I am too much of a linux newbie to have a clue of how to deal with a broken rpm
2. I currently have a RedHat 7.2 development server. The new iptables package was incompatible with the old kernel so I had to upgrade the kernel instead of installing a new one. A broken kernel that requires update instead of install would also stress my abilitiess.
I personally can live with a couple of days of downtime due to broken packages.
I have spent five years reading bugtraq. I have seen terminator 3 (which coincidentaly was released at about the same time as blaster).
It gives me a false sense of security (which I appreciate) to see a lot of activity in my yum logs.
