To me, 'it' amounts to being able to upgrade from C5 to C6 or EL5 to EL6, without a wipe+reinstall[1]. And 'it' works in just about exactly the same way on CentOS as on RHEL - you need to custom build rpm, its dep chain. then get py26 in place, with yum that uses that py26 ( on c5 ), then go through 2 reboot cycles in order to make the process work. At the second boot stage, you need the centos-release rpm to be replaced. Also important at this stage is that having a $releasever at '5' does not break your machine, so a manual choice being needed to come into effect for $releasecer to move to '6' isnt a bad thing, I'd even venture a bit closer to the edge and say its a 'feature'.
What happened with the "aims to be 100% binary compatible" goal of centos ?
