I would caution against blindly turning this on.

Keep in mind that the updates are Fedora Core version bumps
rather than backports of just the security fix. So if you run
automatically update via cron, you risk an increased chance of
having something break.

I much prefer only downloading updates nightly and manually
applying them during the day when possible breakages could be
dealt with more promptly.

    yum --download-only update
    up2date -du
