Does DNF on RHEL for example do something different when --security is
involved? Because the RHEL documentation talks about it as a feature
to
use. Is a lack of metadata for previous updates the problem or the
implementation?
So if you are missing a non-security update, then any security update
built against it will break your system, exactly the same as in the
scenarios proposed in the very first comment in this thread. A scenario
like libsoup depending on an nghttp update could easily happen in your
RHEL updates just the same as it could in Fedora.
Perhaps --security might work sometimes or even most of the time, but
it cannot work safely in general.
