I may have missed some of this thread but I've seen enough Axel stock 
responses to know that he would call that method a 'partial upgrade' and 
would suggest you do a simple "yum update". If this method pulls 
packages you don't want I guess you could exclude them via yum.conf.

I believe mythtv-suite was a meta package that is no longer in use. I 
think its just called 'mythtv' now.
