Shoot, sorry for the confusion. We are doing "yum -y update"... and it
is still getting obsoletes. Our yum.conf does have the default config
of obsoletes=1.
My question though is this: is our "meta" package getting grabbed just
because of its obsoletes? It isn't considered an update to any other
package for any other reason. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I didn't think
that obsoletes alone would be considered reason enough to grab something
as an "update".
