sorry for not being very clear... here is the same thing in -vv mode :)
FC5 installed and then updated with all released packages will contain
packages that will by the time CentOS-5 is out there, already be newer
than whats included in CentOS-5. Which will create problems since those
packages will then not get yum updated to whats in the centos-5 repo's.
Add to this the problem of orphans - there might be packages in the
installed system that are not included in CentOS-5 at all! There will
need to be an audit and work out what these packages are - and if they
are even required on the machine.
