But you are missing the point -- WHY spend the engineering effort on trying to support such Major 'upgradeany's? A new deployment takes mere minutes for a commercial shop, and by NOT supporting such explicitly, the upstream avoids much support and engineering load.
Quite simply, because the customer base, which is paying the upstream for support, is requesting that such a process be supported.
And this would be a sensible argument, were it not being made on the CentOS list. Folks here aren't paying anyone anything.
This is more like an extension of the Fedora community, in a way -- free testers and freeloaders. Big deal. Red Hat doesn't *need* to do anything for us, come to think of it they're already doing quite a bit, so I see no point in complaining.
