[EXTERNAL] – This message is from an external sender I did this sort of stunt years ago with previous Red HGat and RHEL, and even had some tools to switch Scientific Linux releases to the matching CentOS releases and back. I do *not* recommend it! Resolving the library differences for core libraries, and getting the file systems built with the features of newer "mkfs" tools is not a trivial problem. The time and cleverness expended is usually better spent on your backup process.
