On the contrary, I thought the point was that users should expect
greater changes in a new release than in updates.

I have upgraded to new distribution versions with yum in the past
because I found it worked well enough and was less invasive than going
through anaconda, or because I had a custom configuration that anaconda
couldn't handle.  To the extent that yum upgrades are unofficially
supported, I appreciate it.
