Creating a pipeline when you don't need to also creates an unnecessary context switch. That matters in wall-clock time if you're rolling pathes out to more than a couple hundred systems, especially if you keep your yum repository on the local network (and, really, why wouldn't you, considering even RHEL's up2date is happy to use it). (Yes, I can prove that, but it'd waste my employer's money for my time to set up the monitoring framework during the upcoming maintenance weekend in December, so I'm pretty sure I don't care enough to go through the motions.)
