Upgrading "selected packages only" will leave you with something that's neither fish or fowl, and it won't meet your requirements as stated either.

more specifically, it will be a completely untested configuration. considering that any single package can be updated 100s of times in the lifetime of a major release (rhel/centos 6 for example), and there's 1000s of packages, thats an exponential number of combinations, it would be insane for the distribution to test every possible combination of packages across multiple incremental updates.
