To expand upon this, you are likely to run into problems sooner or later
by upgrading past the last supported version. This is why I am moving to
the hardware repos concept. This lets me granularly-control the versions
of everything across both system models and os versions. Version 5.2
*might* work ok on RHEL3, but that doesnt guarantee that 5.3 will.
