I'll disagree with this comment.  It is difficult - if it really was
trivial, Red Hat wouldn't discontinue it.  In most cases, the errata
simply say "fixed in the latest release".  It's the effort that Red Hat
did in applying fixes to the *current* release that added the value.
Some/many of us appreciated knowing that the security fix was in but
nothing else broke by adding new features, changing config files, etc.
