Can the tools "know" that an update is a security update if the announcement for it is marked [SECURITY] on fedora-announce-list? Does it help if the announcement is wrapped in an RSS feed, like so:
http://rss.gmane.org/messages/complete/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.core.announce

She knows to take her car into the repair shop if the
engine light is on and i think we can manage the same effect on her
computer.

Bad analogy to prove your point... the car doesn't try to
automatically repair itself at night.

It's a great analogy. I'd be mighty grateful if my car tried to repair itself at night, and only turned on "check engine" if the repair failed.
