I've a couple CentOS 5.0 x86_64 systems, the software was updated a 
while before the transition to 5.1
The systems run a LAMP software.

I'd like to do a "yum update" excluding mysql and the kernel, therefore 
upgrading the whole thing to 5.1 with the exception of the excluded 
packages. I wonder if this might cause any problems.

Of course I could do some tests myself, but I'm asking here for 
real-life feedback, in case someone else did the same thing.
