No not at all; however when doing upgrades it is sometimes nice to add or 
remove new packages during the install.  I know that it could be done 
afterwards; however there are a number of times I have been stuck in a data 
centre without a proper terminal and to be able to connect using this would 
have been helpful.

The text of the release I have put here (http://www.harkness.co.uk/redhat/) it 
also states things like RH will be replacing UW IMAP with dovecot.  They are 
removing pine and I thought they were replacing it with cone.  There is no 
mention of cone, so that might be sitting on that for a while.
