The Fedora update system currently stores the following [relevant] fields
for each update:

	o update id
	o package-version-release
	o release: fc{3,4,5}
	o testing/final update flag
	o bugzilla #'s
	o security flag
	o embargo date
	o advisory notes

So integration into our update system should be trivial.  We'll only
need to add a few extra fields (URL's, CVE's, etc).  That should
probably cover most of it.
