Can this warning be ignored - OR - do we need to run the steps mentioned in it?

The doc : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.6/html-single/administering_red_hat_satellite/index#installing-and-updating-packages-on-satellite-server

says to individually update the packages :

# satellite-maintain packages install package_1 package_2

...there are 11580 updates in the WARNING received earlier

Instead - Can I do :

# satellite-maintain packages unlock
# satellite-maintain packages update *      ....(Here giving '*' expecting all 11580 updates will be applied)
# satellite-maintain packages lock

Ideally I'd expect the unlock+lock happen during the update itself rather than the user have to do it since its quite new. Maybe a candidate for an RFE?
