Given the number of updates we end up having (even just limited to security), I suspect that this isn't a great idea from a bandwidth perspective. For the users who lack persistent connections (and thus tend to have lower bandwidth), they'd get online and then immediately start having their capacity drained by downloading updates. That's why we've kept the more conservative default of just downloading the update information and notifying the user in the past Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
