[Spacewalk-list] Question Regarding SpaceWalk Upgrade Procedures

[Alexander Innes]

I think the second one is correct (we do it internally), the first ones
very old and they may not have done updates like they do now, my
understanding is when you go from 1.9->2.2 it does all the steps inbetween
in the background for you :)
