Am I overlooking a native way to update vulnerable packages only if they are 
already installed? There's no option to set a package to 'latest' only if 
installed.  OnlyIf and Unless don't operate on package resources.
(Yum/CentOS but I imagine the issue is the same for all platforms)

No, running a "yum upgrade all" is not plausible. Maintaining a list of 
packages which should be upgraded is plausible and expected.

The obvious thing seems to be creatinga ruby fact that loads all packages into 
facts and then doing the logic based around that, but Luke and other have 
expressed concerns over doing this in the past.  Is there a better way?
