A suggestion - take a look at the .spec file from yum-cron.  There's
some logic in there you could steal which ensures that the current state
is preserved on upgrade.

Not saying the default for a fresh install should be "off" (as it is in
yum-cron since that was in the Fedora packaging guidelines), just that
upgrades should respect any changes made by the user.  If someone made
the decision to disable this, that decision should be respected.

PS - use the current Fedora yum-cron as a baseline for anything, the
EPEL version is frozen at an ancient state to avoid CentOS conflicts.
