In the current appliances the use of WebYast for patch updates is discouraged due to a number of challenges with WebYast itself. Instead, people are being asked to use 'zypper patch'. This creates a couple of challenges for users that don't have comfort levels in UNIX.
Optimally, we should surface a way to patch the Sentinel appliance from the main UI, but failing that it would be useful to at least surface that the appliance needs updates (Security or otherwise) and provide instructions/link to TID for common challenges you can face during the patch process (for example, needing to downgrade openssh-askpass)

We are accepting this idea into our backlog. When it is planned for development, the status of the idea will be changed to "Planned".
