Go right ahead. I'm just warning you.

I managed 1500-3000 systems in multiple datacenters world wide and at
least that many additional VMs. Most were under Puppet or Ansible and
they were regularly audited so I generally knew what they had installed.

I'm just saying that I wouldn't permit automatic upgrades unless I'd
vetted those upgrades manually on test machines that represented the
targets involved. I even disabled automatic updates to things like
docker and kubernetes (which do their own updates outside of dnf/yum) so
they wouldn't break (and brother, were there ever been some MASSIVE
screwups there). Even with all those precautions, I was bitten. Hard.
Multiple times. Not fun. Not in the least.

Do what you wish, just be bloody careful about it. That's all I'm
saying.
