Thats the way. Simplify the things for the final user. (Newbie or not).
Maybe this so clear for people who are in the know, but most part of people
not.
All my suggestions here, are for that reason.

I would like a simple option "Download and notification when updates are
ready to install" Should I know that I have download another package? Should
I know yum --downloadonly update? By this way no. Clear for the user.

Thanks.
