Red Hat Network is tied into the Release Engineering so that when you subscribe to Red Hat Network you are able to see and then get updated packages as soon as Red Hat Release Engineering issues the updates to the public. This is Red Hat Network today. In future releases we're going to enhance this service to provide Red Hat Network subscribers with automatic notification and delivery of updated packages. You'll be able to set up preferences that will trigger Red Hat Network to deliver those packages to your system in the directory you specify, based on conditions that you specify. In the case of secure systems, you will be able to shut down or protect your systems automatically as Red Hat sends out the notification.
Subscribers have several options.
They can get the notification and then they can go download the package themselves or they can get the notification and log into Red Hat Network and schedule a download for a certain time. Or they can log into Red Hat Network and request an automatic delivery of the update on their systems. In the last case, by the time the subscriber reads the announcement on the security mailing list about the bug fix being available, and by the time the mass mailing that Red Hat does to the subscribers of the Red Hat announce list, which is where we post our security announcements, and by the time the mass mailing reach your mailbox, you may already have the package on your system, already downloaded, delivered, and ready to be installed. It would not be possible, no. You will have your software download possibilities and capabilities, and you'll have your ticket tracking and support system delivered through Red Hat Network.
