maybe I'm not understanding you but CentOS is like RHEL which does
indeed update /etc/redhat-release with each yum update if a new one is
available and if you had RHELv5.2 and did 'yum update' - it would end up
being RHELv5.3 and for all purposes, the same as if you had just
installed RHELv5.3 clean.
