There are also other dangers with installing only security fixes. If a bugfix is released and packaged, and later it's discovered that the bug had security implications, then no security update will be made because the fix is already packaged. It might be possible to set a security flag on the update after the fact, but nobody will bother with that. I would therefore advise against using --security. If one can't install all the updates continuously, then one should use a more stable distribution than Fedora. Björn Persson
