CentOS - Dec 2011 - CentOS 6, yum-updatesd

Back in the Fedora docs I found on a google, it mentions that in FC6, the
preferred tool for updates was the "new" yum-updatesd. Anyone know: a)
what theological reason upstream had to drop it altogether, and b) what's
the recommended replacement - is it yum-cron?

I hand-update some servers, and of course users' workstations, but some
system, like home directory servers and backup servers are extremely
unlikely to break with an autoupdate, so this is of immediate interest.
