   In my experience, the basic install went well.   So they have been
putting much work into installs.  But I'm referring to the rollback
capabilities that Geo mentioned.  Like in the recent QT incompatibility -
at least one person reinstalled RH and updated from scratch.   But since
the reinstall ended up with the same components, they had the same problem.
Solutions were to uninstall the problem component, find and roll back to
the previous version.
