That analogy works both ways :-) If you just installed FC-6 from DVD,
you're missing all security updates issued since FC-6 was released. Say
a package maintainer is on vacation and a broken dep is still around.
You have a dark house full of murderers, but you can't turn on the
lights to expose them because a closet light bulb is out...
