Thank you! So I suppose we need to, or actually we *must*, upgrade the
binaries only in case of a release upgrade (RHEL 5 to 6, for example),
i.e. when a different binary distribution exsists:
MySQL-5.6.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm to MySQL-5.6.17-1.el6.x86_64.rpm.

Upgrades are always scary. Don't you have another server (staging)
with same hardware/packages so you can try there first before doing it
in production?
Hi Manuel,
yes, I know that. For minor releases - 5.x to 5.x+n - we'll use in-place
upgrades,
for major release upgrades - 5.x to 6.x - we'll use a different hosts.
Best regards
Dimitre
