I think it would be nice if the /etc/motd (or some other mechanism) would
inform users of pending security updates on login.
And, a welcome side-effect is that having cloud images check with the
update server network periodically gives us a better measure of whether
we're actually being used. Right now, cloud images are probably being
drastically undercounted, as many aren't updated ever.

Comment (by langdon):
I am not sure if this is the right place to answer this (vs the bug
reference in comment:1), but the reason many cloud instances do not get
updated is because they operate in a MTTR vs. a MTBF model. In other
words, an instance should never get updates, rather, when updates are
required, a new instance (w/ the updates) should be created, the
application tested, traffic migrated, and then the original instance is
destroyed.
In recognition that most computing stereotypes are well shy of the 80%
rule :), I think having this function, perhaps even by default, is a good
thing, as long as it is "disable-able" easily. In many environments, the
performance and/or network hit of collecting this information would not be
acceptable.

What: A system to display a count (or list?) of updates waiting to be
applied
Where: New code needs to be written.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=995537 could help.
Why: Helpful to users. Side-effect: we can count checkins.
When: nice by F21 release.
Who: (TBD)

Could some help with building Fedora cloud base image with the above patch
applied to the kickstart file?
