I have one box that stayed at FC4, because FC5 was so awful (in some
regards) that I waited until FC6 before attempting to update other
boxes.

I updated another box, or two, to FC6 when it came out, but it wouldn't
write to optical media.  It kept (falsely) complaining that I hadn't put
writeable media in the drive.  So I kept that FC5 box still running.

I updated another box to FC7 when that came out, and it also wouldn't
write to optical media.  So that FC5 box is still running.

SELinux wasn't the issue, as best that I could tell, in this case.  But
I can't be the only one that's found the next release to be a retrograde
step, and held off deploying it.
