Since this isn't RHEL, John has to look at the files in question
concerning RedHat trademark issues (to be able to re-distibute WBEL).  I
would think an automated system would be way to risky....

You can always get on the RHEL watchlist (
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/enterprise-watch-list ) and then
build your own SRPMS updates for items you don't want to wait on.
