Exactly - that's why I use freshen. You need to watch for the extra
packages, like when a single package splits into two, manually. rpm -Uvh
will also install packages that weren't installed before so unless you want
to install EVERYTHING, don't do this. My method uses a lot less disk space
and tests the packages that I need or want to test. Why break my system
installing packages that I have no need for or start up a gazillion daemons,
some of which could have security holes?
