I'd not recommend it. Updating a major OS in place is difficult
enough. Adding in a change of vendor, even if they use the same source
code base is.... well, it's asking for painful surprises.

I used to write scripts for SL/CentOS/RHEL switchovers. It's a slow
and painful approach, and I don't recommend it.
