but there are people who are working with their machines and do
not twice a year reinstall like windows - for me it takes TWO DAYS
until a fresh installed machine has exactly the state i like/need
to have before start working

this is for my two workstations

here are running 20 server (Vmware guests) in production since
2008 (Fedora 9) currently on F15 and i have never made
a fresh install of a linux system in my whole life for
updates because it is not windows and should not get windows

even i do not a fresh install for new pyhsical machines
my machine at home was bought two months after the workstation
in the office, both with 4x2 TB disks with RAID1 for /boot
and two RAID10 for / and /data and the seocnd one was a
simple dd-over-ssh-clone and change ip-addresses

this are the things where linux is really strong and
damage yum-upgrades in any way would be a hughe step
backwards to windows-gameloaders
