Hi, folks,

I was hoping that someone with more knowledge than I about the 6 -> 7 upgrade process would have a look at https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool

The page starts with a vague warning, and then continues to give detailed instructions, leaving it very unclear which parts the warning refers to.

It's not particularly vague.

DO NOT USE this tool. Warning: use of this tool is currently BROKEN as several system-critical packages are of a higher version number in CentOS 6.7 than they are in CentOS 7 so those do not get upgraded correctly. This renders yum and several other system tools non-functional.

How much more definite about it being broken and unusable does it need to be?

If the process is broken, let's remove all of this and point to the correct process. If only a part of the process is broken, we need to remove that from the doc, and drop the scary warning.

It's broken and despite many calls for people to step up to maintain the tool, nothing has happened.
