+1 to this from myself.  It reduces our efforts and gets users fixes
faster.  In the past pulp was not reliable to do this, but the past 5 or so
2.Y releases have been stable enough and I do not believe we've seen an
issue that would have held us back from including a z-release.

What would need to happen to make a change like this?

We'd need to:

* update
https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/blob/rpm/develop/katello/katello-repos/katello.repo#L12-L17
to point to a specific release
* update documentation around updating pulp
https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/developers.html#upgrading-pulp
* update tool belt:  https://github.com/theforeman/tool_belt

i'd recommend we file a katello issue to track these 3 items if there are
no objections
