But you also don't get potentially critical security updates until the full release. That is, yum update won't give you anything.
I am happy. In other words, so long as the stability of my nodes is not effected in any way, and compatibility with upstream also remains, I am happy. :)
What stability problems would you expect from updates beyond a point release? The whole point of an 'enterprise' distribution is the effort they make to not break api's across a whole major-rev's life. Would an upstream system break if you selectively update packages beyond a point release without doing a full update?
I'm ashamed to say that I neglected to do so. I saw kernel oopses while working on other things and didn't get back to them... I'll be sure to file a bug next I see it.
That's ummm, strange. Wouldn't you be running that kernel even if the whole release had been completed?
