$ rpm -q --changelog yum-utils | grep -C1 needs-restarting
* Wed Nov 04 2009 Seth Vidal <skvidal at fedoraproject.org>
- add needs-restarting

I noticed it had appeared in yum-utils some time in the last year or so -
yum-utils is one of those packages that I infrequently do a rpm -ql yum-utils |
grep bin for in case anything new has popped up - I think it's also been
mentioned on the list a few times.
