On CentOS?  Fedora does that all the time but _not_ having behavior-changing 
updates in the long life of a major release is most of the point of 'enterprise' 
distributions.  It's probably not perfect - and I wouldn't do auto-updates on 
production servers either but it should at least be very unusual for a CentOS 
update to break anything.
