The update would not be important if your configuration did not allow the security fixes to actually be implemented. Worse, you think it is important and you think you have resolved a serious security issue when you haven't. When you discover this fact 6 months later dealing with the aftermath of a security breach what do you do? SHOUT loudly at Red Hat? Right. Every administrator who was not aware of how Red Hat deals with configuration files during updates should give some serious thought to why that was instead of wasting too much energy shouting at Red Hat for doing what most think is the more responsible of the options it has available in these odd cases.
