which part of the configuration?
all /etc - well this would be more damage than resolution :-)

sorry but this does not work

i have made some hundret dist-upgrades with yum over the years
nearly zero downtime, normally not more as a kernel update with reboot

well, i keep all my systems 100% clear
but with reinstalls i had wasted so much more time

the big benefit (especially in VM environments) is that the update
goes so fast (as long you not install every bullshit) that the timeframe
is to short to make any troubles for running services

4-7 minutes per instance here since years
