"Excluding 76 updates due to versionlock" !
Many packages are locked via the yum-versionlock plugin, also many system packages like
the kernel and python (well, these 2 got my attention because there were security updates
published recently). Isn't it recommended anymore to update the these packages to the
latest versions? Do you use modified packages (different from CentOS?) Is it safe to
remove the versionlock?
You should wait for next node release and upgrade to that.
Nothing prevents you from removing lines from versionlock and running
'yum update', but I have no idea what happens on your next node
upgrade - e.g. if it contains newer packages that what you manually
updated, will yours take over (thus cause a downgrade), etc. If you
think you really need/want to do that, experiment carefully, and if
you think it's a valid need/request, please open a bug.
Good luck and best regards,
