I believe you had asked before if "yum update" or "yum upgrade" would 
bring S.L. 40rolling to S.L. 4.4, and yes, that will work.
But it will not bring S.L. 4.3 to S.L. 4.4.

Now, there is an exception to that.  That is if you have yum-conf-4x 
installed.  Which is always pointing to 4x.  Then you should just be 
able to do a "yum update", or actually nothing at all, the nightly yum 
will update you.
Except we haven't moved that link yet.  I was actually planning on 
waiting a week.  The only reason I was going to wait was because we 
thought people would want to wait a little bit.
But then again, if you wanted to wait a little bit, you wouldn't have 
installed yum-conf-4x.
I can move the link now if you want.  Anybody else have an opinion, move 
the link now or wait a week?
