With the reorg of yum-cron back in July, the ordering in cron.daily was
changed from 0yum.cron to yum-update. Having yum-cron run earlier was a change
made for reasons outlined in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445894, namely to run before
makewhatis, mlocate, prelink, rpm, etc. I still think these are relevant.
Were there corresponding reasons for moving it back?
Anyone?
My guess is that it was an accident ... Matthew?
Yes, I think it's by accident. Somewhat relevant from the git log:

Previously, the entire yum-cron shell script lived in /etc/cron.daily,
using options set in /etc/sysconfig/yum-cron to further restrict the
days when updates and cleanup are done. This moves the main
functionality to a stand-alone shell script, but the logic for
days-to-run stays in the cron scripts. That keeps everything
compatible and is nice and simple, but also allows one to replace the
cron configuration with, for example, updates which run multiple times
per day.
The current possible actions for yum-cron are update and cleanup;
update has special-case code to handle check-only or download-only;
cleanup just runs the commands in cleanup.yum. It would be easy to add
other such actions.
This happened because locally we run the update every hour, and so its
ordering in the daily rotation didn't really occur to me -- mea culpa.
So...., could we get that changed back? Do I need to submit a patch?
