[ale] Updates

[Jeff Lightner]

I think the question was how to make it only do security updates rather
than all updates.   Many updates are just to add "features" or tweak.   

Personally I'd never want to auto update any system so usually turn off
the updatesd.  I'd much rather decide when I want new stuff on my system
even security updates.   My experience has taught me that sometimes
enhancements or fixes actually break things even if you're using
commercial OSes.   Security updates make sense if an exploit is found
but bug fixes/enhancements can usually wait until there is a need.

What is Fedora including in their updates besides security updates and 
bug fixes? I though you only got more than that between releases if you 
tracked Rawhide.
