there is at least one industry vendor that could use rh7.2 as a base
instead of rh7.0! hmmm, how is the error handling due to install problems?
i have had no end of strangeness if needing to do even only slightly wierd
things during install with rh7.0 ...

so does the upgrade stuff actually work yet, redhat have been touting
an upgrade feature for five years, since 3.03, and i've never actually 
had it *work*!
