The only difference betwwen Community and official at this point is that any 
updates are placed right into the distribution tree for Community, but are 
placed in a seperate updates directory for Official.

Sure.  Just change your urpmi sources to an official mirrir, (make sure an 
update source is included) and then 'urpmi --auto-select' 

The main advantage of running offical instead of community is that it takes a 
lot less time to update your urpmi sources with official because you are only 
updating a much smaller hdlist from the updates dir instead of the hdlists 
for the whole distro.   This is because the dist tree is static with 
official.

I personnally like community, because I keep a local mirror, and when I do a 
clean install, all the updates are already installed.
