Greets,
Thank you to all the CentOS team and supporters.
:-)
Just wondering though...
Any 4.7 update issues or horror stories yet?
Also, anyone that has upstream support and previously updated, any issues for Internet facing, or other, production machines ?

indeed, specifically, did those issues with the broken kernel update get sorted out?
I dunno about any kernel issues on mirrors or syncing or whatever...
After a quick backup set check, I bit the bullet on one of our main CentOS 4.6 i386 production boxes and did a full update to CentOS 4.7 i386 yet excluding the kernel* update in the /etc/yum.conf
Reboot and after quick check, it appears there are no noticeable issues.
As a side note, this particular box started about as an original CentOS4 approx 4 years ago and has been updated many times without one issue.
Again, good work CentOS team and supporters!

Part of the QA which I mentioned earlier in the week was looking for problems. This late in point respins of the 4 series, however, nothing major comes to mind from the looking we did during that testing.
It should 'just work' and once it is out a few days (and the ISO pull load and 'chunky' updates load passes -- I see 130 packages being touched in one production mail and name server), the deferred updates are next on the docket of major things to look for in the 4 series.
The only one of some consequence that sticks out is the 'bind' series one, with the fixed source port (but as this was never a CentOS default option setting, not likely to happen to a person 'unknowngly'), and so all that major. The libxml2 update is the other which needs a bit of assessment, but again, it is not what I think of as a 'major' matter.
