i do

the downtime of services from Fedora 9 to Fedora 18 was 30 seconds
for the reboot and 60 seconds for the two reboots caused by
UsrMerge - not more and not less

the upgrade itself takes 3-5 minutes per server
preapre that this runs smooth 1-2 days so 4 days a year
where i am still reahable for my daily work - who cares?

if you not believe this - i have all outputs of yum (stderror and stdout)
in the archive from 2008 to 2013 for all of the around 20 virtual servers
