Why does dsu perform a "yum upgrade -y" when installing firmware? (Run strings 
on the dsu binary to verify for yourself) This command will upgrade everything 
on a system - and often system administrators may put something into custom yum 
repos but not install it intentionally. This is extremely poor behavior on the 
part of the dsu tool and I was very surprised to see it. This option must be 
configurable by the administrator. Further, it should only upgrade dell related 
items -  at the very most. You are specifying to update _all_ system software 
on the OS AND you pass the -y argument to it to approve the install without 
letting an administrator intervene. This behavior is completely unacceptable 
and needs to be addressed.
