Have yet to see any specific suggestions that would change the content
HowTos/MigrationGuide other than the previously discussed (emphasize
that fresh installs are STRONGLY recommended, only address x -> x+1
upgrades).  Will assume silence means consent pending further comments.

Sorry for not trimming the post, but there's been a lot of wandering
already in this thread, so leaving the context.  :-)

My $0.02 would be that there should be 2 links in the centos-5-release
notes :

1. To the work-in-progress general page HowTos/MigrationGuide
2. To the vaporware version-specific page HowTos/MigrationGuide/CentOS5
[Where things like how to migrate from EL5 and friends, upgrade from
CentOS4, what to do about left-over packages (which can be a huge PITA
for desktop/workstation users, and are more likely to occur on a machine
with a bunch of 3rd party packages installed to support things like
browser plugins and multimedia) would reside.]

Things like the content or the current WBEL 3 FAQ entry would move to
the corresponding sub-page when the concept is accepted and they are
created.
