upgrade path from U4 beta to release U4?

[Dan Bongert <dbongert ssc wisc edu>]

I had to upgrade my web server/Postgres server to the Beta of update 4 a while 
back to deal with a crashing problem (that I never did discover the cause of, 
but the upgrade fixed it). In the email announcing the release of the beta, it 
says:

> Upgrades will *not* be supported from the beta update to the 
> subsequent official update; a fresh base install will be 
> required.

As a test, I installed U4 beta on a spare server, changed it back to the main 
channel, and upgraded it to the released U4. Everything *seems* copacetic.

I realize that this isn't supported by Red Hat, but neither are several other 
things (reiserfs, etc.) that don't cause any problems. So, which camp does 
this fall into:

	1) Unsupported but will still work just fine
or
	2) Unsupported because it is a bad bad idea
