it works a remarkably large amount of the time is what makes me do it that
way.
seriously, it is not the official way but depending on what you're
running/using a yum update to the next release will often work.
normal caveats apply:YMMV, you get to keep all the little pieces, etc.
but if you find situations where it cannot work, report them - I can
probably explain if it is likely an insurmountable situation where
preupgrade/anaconda is required or whether it is a packaging issue or just
a yum bug.
