If an update crashes X11, that's really a bug in the update. It should not

Thanks Kevin... I opened uo a RFE Bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1382063

for the the ability to do optional "offline" updates via DNF if desired.  The DNF team
seems receptive to it, but consider it a low priority - and I would agree with that.  Unfortunately,
the blanket statement in the development thread implied to me a greater risk that actually
exists.
