anyone doing automatic yum updates via yum-updatesd on production servers?

[P J <pauljflists@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've read that it's not recommended to automatically apply updates via
yum-updated on production servers, but I keep encountering servers that
have this enabled.

Are any of you doing automatic yum updates on production servers in CentOS
5 via yum-updatesd? Have you experienced any negative side effects?

The only thing I can think of is if say a client had a custom version of
PHP installed that was not properly excluded in yum and then it was over
written.
Unless I'm missing something else that could go horribly wrong.

Any feedback is appreciated. (if this question has already been asked my
apologies, searching the archive didn't find what I was looking for)

Thanks,

-PJ
