Some parameters/configurations/functionalities might 
change/appear/disappear, depending on the type of 
development (some projects are stable and other projects  just 
do not care about backward compatibility).
If you do manual updates, you will notice that some configuration 
files may change in the process (see the .rpmnew and .rpmsave)...
If your server is critical, you'd better test the updates on a non 
critical server before.
