I would definitely consider some post-upgrade clean-ups as detailed in

At minimum, there are some old packages and a lot of dangling symlinks
that should be cleaned up.
I have never done any of that on any systems I manage...
I sometimes need to add "--allowerasing" when I do upgrades because of packages that I've installed a long time ago, but that doesn't concern me. I've never had any issues caused by dangling symlinks.
With past upgrades, I've done some of the post-upgrade tasks.
- I had trouble early on with updating configuration files. Ed suggested I could skip it, I've skipped that step ever since.
- This upgrade was the first in which I had trouble with the clean-up retired packages step. It crashed, and I remain suspicious it caused the trouble addressed by this thread. I'm doubtful about doing this step in the future.
- I've been skipping the clean-up old kernels step.
- This is the first I've seen the clean-up old keys trusted for RPM package signing step. Has anyone had trouble with this? How risky is it?
- I've had no trouble with clean-up old symlinks, but I vaguely recall someone in this list in some past thread warning about this step being a little risky.
- For space reasons, I no longer have a rescue kernel.
- Curious: I have not yet for this upgrade relabelled files with the latest SELinux policy, yet I'm seeing no problems relating to SELinux.
I hope to try some of the post-upgrade tasks Monday. But I'll skip some altogether.
