I would say it is much preferred to keep with the official upgrade path
and install CentOS updates only.

I understand people use dag for freetype for certain circumstances, but
it is not the best method for an enterprise OS as freetype is a core
library. For long term, keep the the base OS wherever possible. If you
wish extra features for freetype, let me know and maybe I can roll a
base + these features for centosplus.
