I agree. However, when I examine the log of which packages were
replaced (I mean that the files associated with major release N were
fully replaced by those of major release N+1 -- however, log and end
user configuration were retained, such as the list of users, passwords,
etc.), I find that a
Truthfully, I *prefer* a full OS wipe-and-reinstall periodically.
(Note: I'm saying an *OS* wipe-and-reinstall. I always dedicate one
partition to the OS itself and maintain any local/user data elsewhere.
I find the idea of storing user files under /home on the root partition

I don't know about others but I have used Fedora 1 through Fedora 33, but
nothing has broken for me yet in an upgrade in a manner that was not fixable

This isn't Scientific Linux, though SL and the team that
supports it would be involved in implementation.
AFAIK, we are still in the middle of Long Shutdown 2,
with the Large Hadron Collider /not/ sending terabytes
of experimental data through the dedicated HEP network.
Meanwhile, gathering
To the best of my understanding, both Fedora and the coming CentOS are
beta (development/testing) environments, not stable production
environments, as is non-LTS Ubuntu. I know of many people who use Fedora
-- and more than once had bad experiences because of a software defect.

Hi Yasha,
Yes this is one of the most significant differences between the Debian/
dpkg/apt world and the Red Hat/SUSE/rpm/yum/dnf world. It's a
difference in philosophy and it is reflected in the tooling. There are
a lot more explicit package version dependencies in Debian that makes
