I don't agree.
First of all, there is nothing to up2date at the moment, as far as I can see.
If you actually want to install test packages,
I'm sure the mirrors will be fully operational in the next day or so.
Secondly, I found RedHat's old up2date frequently impossible to get into,
because of the load.
I imagine this will be much easier now.
