A feature I'd quite like to see in Fedora (etc) is the ability to specify that 
certain older packages are to be retained - such as the web, mail and 
database server in the example above - whilst the remainder of the distro can 
be upgraded as much as possible subject to dependency constraints. The point 
being that you could then manually update and test the remaining packages 
individually, reducing the level of disruption if there turn out to be 
problems...
