4.0.1. I rand yum update today and it found 4.0.2 and I had it
install.

So far I've found it replaced all my .repo files with one and only

one

named sipeces.repo which includes my other repos, BUT has me looking

for software updates for CentOS 5.2 (hard coded into urls) I also
found it removed my /etc/redhat-release file which contained CentOS
5.3 (Final).

Whats up with that?!?


If true, those are bugs.


It is true. Here is what yum says:
Installing:
sipxecs-release                            i386
4.0.2-009184016420                 sipxecs-stable              3.6 k
   replacing  centos-release.i386 10:5-3.el5.centos.1

How did we end up with this? Cannot remember any discussions around a

sipxecs-release RPM that removes repo files.

This is not a bug, it is done by design.  Our software is only
certified to work with CentOS 5.2.  Any attempt to upgrade to a newer
release leaves the user exposed to possible OS incompatibilities and
service interruptions.  They are of course free to override / hack the
repo configurations and live dangerously.  If something breaks as a
result, don't come crying...

Exposure to security bugs and known OS flaws is preferred ? Sounds somewhat counter productive to me, a bit as if you would state that you know better than the distribution authors what works and what doesn't which I tend to doubt in.
