That sounds great.  I didn't realize they did this already.
I guess I need to find out how to mark updates as "security updates".

Does "install security updates automatically" default to "on"?
If it is, I can rely on it.  If it still defaults to "off", I probably can't.

And I'll still need to trigger the updates myself for those distros
that don't use Packagekit yet.
