I got the impression that the CentOSUpgradeTool was a CentOS project,
rather than an RHEL one?
Here is the page describing the RHEL tool they based the Centos tool on:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/sect-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Migration_Planning_Guide-Upgrade_Tools-RednbspHat_Upgrade_Tool.html
I think Centos may have extended it based on their testing, but it is all
based on work the RHEL did, so it comes with the same basic structure.
I don't know if there are any tools that would perform this particular
upgrade on Gnome or KDE. They have both changed so drastically that
translation from old configuration files to new ones would require
overwhelming machine intelligence, and it just isn't worth it. In another
context, when the new version development of both GUIs wasn't moving so
fast, it might work fine. That just isn't this year. If you don't believe
me, just go read all the mailing list traffic asking "How do I set ... on
Gnome? I used to know exactly what to do, but what I knew doesn't work any
more."
