With a few exceptions, I see most admins treat CentOS as a single
rolling release and rely on the ABI commitment assuming things
just work between point releases. On the other hand I see the
opposite with RHEL where admins constrain installations to the
point release.
What is the case with users on this list who support both?
I can't really speak for anyone else, but for me, a lot depends on the
use of the systems. I typically treat RHEL and CentOS the same way as
far as updating to the latest point release. It's never bit me in the
past that I am aware of.
The only exception to that is with the SGI Altix 4300/4400s I used to
manage. We migrated from SLES to RHEL and in those cases, barring a
serious enough bug, those boxes were left alone until time came to
refresh them, such as the move from RHEL5 to RHEL6.
