I'd apply them. the latter case is actually more scary: say you have foo and bar installed. you see updates available for foo and bar. but foo's update includes: obsoletes bar. well when you install the update for foo rpm is going to remove bar, too. And the update for bar won't even be in consideration. > Is that not workable?
