Yes, this is not a problem for me I know about rpm, but for a newbie the RHN 
alert I got just refers to 

"New versions of the up2date and rhn_register clients are now available
which are required for continued access to Red Hat Network."

a newbie going to the referenced site is likely to just download the up2date 
rpm, as other than offering it for a download does not mention it, this has 
already been a issue on the redhat list.
