Any docs available on this?  In particular, I am interested in knowing 
how I would stay at a particular update release while still grabbing 
security updates via RHN/up2date.  I keep up with both the taroon and 
nahant lists but haven't seen any mention of this versioning system 
change before, sounds like a good plan to me though.
