Will "yum upgrade" upgrade in place only the applications/files that
come stock with SL without touching existing partitions or systems
configuration folders (e.g., network information, password, shadow, and
the like)?
I was repeatedly told on both this and the CentOS list that TUV
configuration no longer permitted this sort of operation (at one time,
TUV provided production -- not just Fedora "beta" -- binaries, and
during that epoch, the TUV installer had an "upgrade" option).

i have to disagree with you on this issue.
iirc, my last 5x was 5.9. i first ran "yum update" and then ran "yum
upgrade",
both ran with out any problems.
my /etc/reddhat-release shows;
Scientific Linux release 6.3 (Carbon)
i did not check to insure that all packages are now at 6.3, but i would
presume that they are.
