If you just run "yum upgrade" or "yum update" (they behave the same by
default), that's not what happens. To achieve that, you have to:
yum --downloadonly upgrade
telinit 3
yum -C upgrade
On the other hand, preupgrade does drop you out of the running system, it
does the upgrade in an Anaconda environment.
