I stated from my experiences that is was not "supported" (though it might
work, but others were hitting dependency issues, I did not see this from
testing "from" 4.2.1). I say this because prior to 4.4... updates from
"some" 4.3 and 4.4 versions to subsequent versions did not work. I started
over, as it was not a production environment.  I also do not understand if
there "is" a db upgrade, and assuming the db upgrade script for postgres is
included in a snapshot 4.4 to come from 4.2.1 how you can be "backward
compatible" to go back to 4.2.1 without having a db issue.

Is there a db schema change in 4.4 (from 4.2.1)? I recall there were changes
to "branch" which would mean there is a db change.

If you are not in a production environment I don't see how any of this
matters though. I also suspect once a Beta of 4.4 is out to test updating
against, a lot more can be known and/or shared.

I never once stated or gave the impression a yum update would not be
advisable from one stable version to another. I simply suggested both a
backup and export of the current version (4.2.1) might be a good way to
begin in the event things don't work out for an in-place upgrade
(especially) as it pertains to a production system. I did, and will, give
the user the idea that backing up and exporting their data is a good idea if
they decide to take a production system to a snapshot or development
version... I don't see why this is an issue.
