Shouldn't there be a separate directory for each version?  I picked a
centos mirror at random:

http://mirror.atlanticmetro.net/centos/

At this location, there are directories named "5.4", "5.3", "5.2", etc.

To answer your question, if I were doing a version update, I would
expect to create a new directory.  Then, if I were trying to conserve
space, I might consider removing the old one after some period of time.
