The "preupgrade" is what I've been using the last year, and why I'm now building boxes here with 500M instead of 100M root partitions, figuring that it's what's coming for CentOS, eventually.

I doubt that. The issue isn't the technology but the support issues that can arise from updating systems between releases. Red Hat would have to test all kinds of update scenarios and not only between two releases but they'd also have to take into account systems that have been upgraded several times. I'm pretty sure they will stick to the service migration update path they are using now.
preupgrade is only for migration for full releases, and does sorta kinda work.... It's been in fedora a year or so; I'm *not* looking forward to it hitting RHEL, and so CentOS, but I'm figuring it will, in another year or two.
