Yah, most Fedora users will warn you against such if you ask
preinstall. If you're asking whether or not you can simply upgrade
from Fedora to CentoOS, I'm pretty sure the answer  is no. You can
migrate by doing fresh installs, ie. redeploying the system however.

Do tell, what packages of yours require recompilation every kernel
upgrade? That seems a bigger issue.

Also, why aren't you using (what I believe to be) freely available
Fedora build systems to automate the process - regardless of your
final choice of distro.

Good luck.
