Description of problem: I think the only real difference we'd have by adding this is that we could put "yum --security" in documentation (without having to say, do blah to install the security plugin), and a few people might not know about it and would find out via. it's default installation.
Commands like 'yum info-security' are really useful and we might want to start pointing customers to those commands, or scripting which uses them, when the ability to get RHN notifications goes away (or if they are using CDN). I believe this rpm should be added a default to all install options.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Moving for rel-eng to implement, still requires a PM ack to do.
