How is having it on by default a safe setting? Any sysadmin running Linux should know how to update. SL is not a release for your average user, it's for the scientific community. If I wanted an OS designed for non-admins, I'd run Ubuntu.
You assume only knowledgeable sysadmins run RHEL/derivatives. I fully disagree.
And there are bugs in various software out there (such as ypbind) which are not fixed in the current release and so having autoupdate step on critical packages is bad.
Agree, it can (and has) caused headaches. But do I think it is worse than never updating? No.
