I stand corrected, but why on earth not add a link to the main page or the landing page linked to in this HN post?


An excellent question. Honestly, because the page was intended at people already running CentOS -- I thought people would be much more inclined to switch a system they already have than to reinstall a brand new one. Clearly I was mistaken :)


Would you expect those who tend servers to run a script that changes the update repositories and installs new packages as root on a production server without testing the operating system first?

I take the point that the script and the reversion of the changes introduced by the script could be tested on a development box running CentOS.

Yes, that was my thinking here. That you'd spin up a CentOS VM or run it on a test system, see if you were happy, and then you'd run it for a while. Once you were happy, you'd then run the script everywhere.
