You still haven't explained this. Where's the danger?

But it doesn't do that. If it did, I'd be in complete agreement
with you. Running "yum update" does *not* install new software,
unless the updated version has a new dependency. In that respect,
my understanding is that it behaves identically to "apt-get update".
Yet you seem quite happy to run that...
