Remember, you can control what up2date does and does not install, in fact if you
want, you can go to https://rhn.redhat.com and select packages manually to
update, or do the same with the gui tool.  You can also tell the RHN tool to
ignore specific packages.  I can see the problem with the glibc packages, but
they did not force them to anyone.  They make sure these fixes work with their
OS, any other packages should be tested before pushing to a production
environment, yada.. yada...
