This may be of use to someone else so here it is, its not 
very clever but is useful

http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/~traylens/rpms/yumit
or
/afs/rl.ac.uk/user/t/traylens/public_html/rpms/yumit

contains

yumit-1.2-2.src.rpm
yumit-client-1.2-2.noarch.rpm
yumit-server-1.2-2.noarch.rpm

The client effectivly runs

`yum update` to get a list of packages that should be upgraded 
and stores all of this output in a central mysql database.

The server portion is just php scripts to browse all your hosts and
rpms to see what rpms should be installed where.

I suppose this generates a request from me.

While `yum update` is great at generating a list of what should be installed
what are the chances of `yum outofdate` or something that would generate a list
of all packges with their versions that would be upgraded or removed if I was
ran `yum -y update`.

It would useful to be able to browse the packages that are installed that
should not be , hmmm guess I should learn some python.
