On most (all?) other distros it works perfectly. I had Debian for ages in production (supporting piles of services) with apt-get update/upgrade running regularly. SuSE and Gentoo also do good job keeping you informed about changes in updates and if post-update human interaction is needed.

The crucial difference here is mindset of RH. It didn't changed the damm yota in the decade. The very same problem why I threw away RH6/7 in past from production, the very same stupidity of RH, is still there.

RH is only distro I have ever tried - and I tried many of them - would silently without any warning or prompt replace your config files with shipped version. It took them ages to learn that files can be renamed - yet it didn't went thru completely it seems.

This is not a single mistake. This is happening now for more than a decade now: RH during maintenance can and does override your configuration. The RH folks simply have no trivial respect to their users...
