It would be nice if we could have a yum option which says skip-needs-reboot. Then we could only get updates that need reboot when we wanted those while updating the others more regularly. Perhaps that is what your python script does. This would be very needed if Fedora went for a Rolling Release version/option which I personally think is a good idea. Of course, others may disagree which is why it could be an option.
