No, because there are updates that, e.g. require manual intervention, or are more likely to break a lot of stuff. These would make the difference between the releases. E.g. an update from KDE3 to KDE4 should only happen from a Fedora release to another, but an update from KDE 4.x.y to 4.x.y+1 would be ok. Maybe even from 4.x.y to 4.x+1.z, but I am not that familiar with KDE upgrades. Or postgres updates are a kind of updates that afaik require manual intervention, therefore they should also only happen from release to release. There was a good list about criteria for good updates somewhere in the thread, I can try to find it again if you want. Regards Till
