Mike,

I am really sorry, but then you will have to create one yourself. The
plug-in works fine for 95% of people. Maybe you should look at writing a
script that checks for security updates or, how about using Pulp ?

http://pulpproject.org/ug/UGInstallation.html

https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/

Should make most of what you want to achieve possible with a bit work
elbow grease.

Or, better yet, write something from scratch and make it available to
others as a collaborative community effort. ;-D

Regards,

Tristan
