For what it's worth since the font corruption the previous update 
introduced was a serious pain for us we switched directly to the -97.EL 
release rather the going via the "security update" first.  After some 
testing we rolled it out to 240 machines on Monday morning (along with 
some changes to our default session handling which we have to get in 
before Term starts).

So far there have been no problems associated with this -- though our new 
default (Gnome) session is causing some complaints :-/
