Now that SL 6.8 has been released, many packages in the sl6x-related 
repos are shown as upgradeable, but the release announcement still 
includes the warning that:

There should be no expectation that a "yum" upgrade to SL 6.8 will work.
A new install is the recommended method to move from "sl6rolling" and 
the released SL 6.8.

Does this still apply?  When I first saw it I assumed that it referred 
specifically to the RCs, but it's still there, post-release.  I'm pretty 
sure I didn't do a fresh install for 6.6 > 6.7

Thanks,

John Pilkington
