I'd say YMMV on this one. I did a 6.0->6.1 upgrade today and other
than it installing seemingly every package, _nothing_ appears to be broken
(other than PCMCIA, of course). While I have not exercised every program on
my system, I've tagged a few of them and they all see as happy as a clam.
I did, however, have to spend some "quality time" with GnoRPM and
remove all of the unwanted packages that had been installed! Ugh..... but I
got back about 500MB of drive space!
Also - if you have old kernel source you're going to want to copy it
off - it was removed after my upgrade. As was my old kernels in /boot!
