Back
I had to upgrade my web server/Postgres server to the Beta of update 4 a while
back to deal with a crashing problem (that I never did discover the cause of,
but the upgrade fixed it). In the email announcing the release of the beta, it
says:
> Upgrades will *not* be supported from the beta update to the
> subsequent official update; a fresh base install will be
> required.
As a test, I installed U4 beta on a spare server, changed it back to the main
channel, and upgraded it to the released U4. Everything *seems* copacetic.
I realize that this isn't supported by Red Hat, but neither are several other
things (reiserfs, etc.) that don't cause any problems. So, which camp does
this fall into:
1) Unsupported but will still work just fine
or
2) Unsupported because it is a bad bad idea
