I didn't see any indication there that you were planning to turn the /etc/redhat-release file into a symlink.
In CentOS, /etc/redhat-release has always been a symlink to /etc/centos-release.
Well if you define 'always' as 'for CentOS6 and later... So I guess I have redhat-lsb installed on all of my CentOS6 boxes and hadn't noticed that particular breakage before. To be fair, I consider it to be a bug in OCSinventory to not follow a symlink to the contents, but it does point out that any arbitrary change is going to break something that trusted your previous version's functionality.
