dsu performs a 'yum upgrade -y' when upgrading firmware

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.
