Its possible, people have done it before. But personally I'd rather just do an upgrade, and I don't see what there is to `fix'. An hour or two scheduled maintenance once a year isn't a big deal for me. Remember, Red Hat aim to keep binary compatibility within major version numbers, so 7.x - 7.(x+1) is, in my brain, equivalent to a service pack in the windows world. And, or course, what you're upgrading to is stable with much testing, fixing and (these days) three beta releases before its declared so.
