On CentOS? Fedora does that all the time but _not_ having behavior-changing
updates in the long life of a major release is most of the point of 'enterprise'
distributions. It's probably not perfect - and I wouldn't do auto-updates on
production servers either but it should at least be very unusual for a CentOS
update to break anything.
