In my experiense that is nonsense.I used RHL from 3.0.3, and the only time I didn't upgrade when maybe I should have wa when I'd coerced some RHL 6.2 packages onto what was RHL 5.0. That time I just didk't think it was worth the risk.
I now there were lots of people who reinstalled: however, over all those years I never found it necessary except for that one tiime I'd chosen to bork the system. Even so, it would probably have coped.
