My apologies, you completely are correct.  I misunderstood the question 
to apply to the production release (that already has happened at RH).  I 
personally never test or develop a beta release of a system or system 
software on a production platform, but rather on a beta testing hardware 
platform dedicated for the purpose, and on these, a full (re-)install 
always is done.
