Impossible because some applications may need to be downgraded for final
- which can not really be done easily with yum (not w/o using epoch's -
but that would be a silly reason to use an epoch)

No test release should be used without expectation of re-install.

If updating is done between test releases - it should be done clean
install because the installer needs testing, and furthermore, the
software should be tested in a clean slate - as that may reveal issues
that need to be fixed, and might avoid false issues caused by previous
test release.
