The step to clean yum cache will not be needed too.

 Clean yum cache:

# yum clean all

What is the user story for disabling the auto-update? Sounds like something that support can ask CU to do to troubleshoot errors. I do not think that we must document disabling this smart feature at all.

That's exactly what it's for, so I agree, let's not document it.

To be clear, what we've agreed not to document here is *disabling* the auto-update. We still need to document the auto-update itself as outlined in the description:

> Section Number and Name: Wherever foreman-maintain/satellite-maintain is

> 
> Describe the issue: The foreman-maintain package will upgrade itself when
> you run a satellite upgrade or upgrade-check, so the user doesn't have to do
> it manually.

> Suggestions for improvement: We have a step, in a few places, to upgrade the
> rubygem-foreman_maintain package. We can remove this.
