I agree that using up2date works fine, except:
a) are there issues that won't be fixed by up2date ?
Sure. Let's say that FCx liked lilo and FCy likes grub as the default
bootstrapper. Would you expect an rpm scriptlet to know anything about
a) asking you if you want to switch bootloaders, b) Have a sed/perl
script to run that would parse an existing /etc/lilo.conf and build a
reasonable /etc/grub.conf? No, you'd expect something more
"comprehensive" in scope to know how to do those things.
That is a very good example. rpms don't handle that. Anaconda does ask
a few questions about bootloaders. I've never moved from lilo to grub,
so I don't know what it actually does.
Me neither; it was merely an example of an upgrade that'd be outside of
rpm's scope, so you could hardly expect up2date or yum to know what to do
