Now if only that were the default for the yum "service" that auto-installs updates each night. I'd prefer to choose what gets installed and when, but I don't mind it doing the download for me in the wee hours. Maybe another sysconfig setting is called for.
File a bug, modify /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron to suit your needs and post a patch.
