For a concrete example, someone reported a bind security problem
recently, and I did:

apt-get install bind

thus fetching the updated package from security.debian.org.

1 second to type one command, and about a minute to watch and see if the
upgrade went OK.  It even stopped and started the named daemon on its
own.

I would be really surprised if RedHat does all that.
