Don't know what yum does on those nightly upgrades, but with apt I run nightly 
updates and upgrades, but with the --download-only option, so it doesn't 
acctually upgrade, but I can upgrade it manually without haveing to wait for 
the internet download to finish (I already have the packages in the cache).

I personally think it's the best idea.

P.D.: I also run a cleanup (to erase the rpms from old instalations) before 
the update upgrade. :-D
