maybe some of the 3.4 beta discussion has covered this, i wasn't watching it too closely.
what is going to be the process to convert a system from 3.3 to 3.4? will a simple yum update work? or do we have to do something more intentional to make it happen? how does redhat handle u3->u4 updates? i assume that since u4 has been published that security patches from rh will only apply to u4? or do they also supply security patches for u3 for some period of time?
Security fixes have been applied to the 3.3 trees already. A yum update should apply them for you. As for the bug fixes and enhancements, I have added some of those to the 3.3 x86_64 tree, with the rest of them to follow shortly. Thus, eventually, a yum update will essentially move you to 3.4.
I believe the i386 3.3 tree will be similar, unless I've missed something.
I will also be posting a separate 3.4 tree for x86_64, complete with isos. It is being built and will be tested soon.
Lance and others can chime in with more details, as he's further along with 3.4 than I am.
