On most machines, I just removed pup and yum-updatesd. Go figure.
+1.
I do not use pup, and switched off yum-updatesd.
So do/did I -- one reason was the slow start up of yum-updatesd
(#220614), that slowed down the boot-process on my laptop quite a lot.
[...] and the fact that it locks up yum is an added problem.
A really annoying one if you ask me -- would it be possible that command
line yum simply talks to yum-updatesd via d-bus and says "hey,
yum-updatesd background task, the users wants to do something
interactively now which is way more important then your business -- so
quickly go sleeping for a while! (read: f... off)"?
Just for completeness: I'd use yum-updatesd if both problems mentioned
above would get fixed. That way I'd get notified via pup about pending
updates. I'd probably still would not use pup itself, as it always asks
for the root password -- it's way easier for me to call "sudo yum
update"(¹).
And, BTW, if we're doing pup/yum-updatesd bashing here then lets do it
for real (sorry jeremy (²)): I'm one of those 56 people in the CC list
of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212507
as I hit that bug on one of my machines, too. That bug is quite annoying
and harmful. Jeremy, can I as a ordinary users without much programming
skills help you somehow to get it resolved?

(¹) -- there is a way to configure consolehelper to not ask me for the
root password (aka sudo like functionality), but I never found time to
figure it out. Is that stuff documented/described somewhere properly in
a step-by-step-guide-for-dummies-like-thl somewhere?
(²) -- as I mentioned already on fedora-advisory-list: jeremy does a
great job, but we could need some more jeremy's afaics. Yes, other rh
and community developers do a great job, too, but a lot of (read: to
much) serious stuff in fedora-land afaics depends on jeremy -- but his
days afaics also have only 24 hours and he needs a chance for a real
life, too ;-)
