I think I've read that the changes between 3 and 4 are too drastic to do an
upgrade.

Will this work for updating from CentOS-3 to CentOS-4 as well? 
Everything I've seen so far seems to be recommending a complete re-install.
I've not gotten the opportunity to test it myself, but if I update those
three rpms, can I upgrade -3?
