I have. And I know how to. Ascii sort order is a straightforward concept for both humans and computers. I knew how to deal with scenarios with subtle issues like the network service 'completing' startup even though the connected switch was still doing spanning tree and the next network operation would fail. And now I don't know how to tell how introducing some new arbitrary service will interact with an existing arbitrary set.
As I said, because you don't known doesn't mean its faulty -> human factor.
"human factor" means it is extra work for someone who was already using a linux distribution because it did what they wanted - which doesn't seem good to me either. And since I don't understand it, I don't know how to prove that some arbitrary addition can't cause a dependency loop when added to some arbitrary existing configuration. Do you?
You are just deferring the pain unless you plan to retire before EOL for EL6 and foist the work off on someone else.
An interesting idea, that was born in your head, right?
No, it is a very real scenario for me. If I leave the upgrades for someone else it will probably be the end of linux use here.
