I'm not yet looking for a recommendation for a clean install.

there is no other sane approach. you can upgrade the system a half dozen times through those intermediate versions, and sort out every issue that comes along, or you can build a clean new system (either on the same hardware or not) and do it all at once.

this is a test/dev box for an existing EL5 production system? make a backup of the production system and restore it on the dev box, reconfigure the network, yum install any additional development packages (C compilers, etc), done, go home and have a beer.
