Absolutely, but why would Red Hat *not* support an upgrade and also give 
the possibility to do it??

Back in june, I warned my colleagues that doing so wasn't the safest 
way. Then the software reseller recently did a documentation explicitly 
detailing an upgrade from 5.x to 6.x as a working solution, I thought 
they've been doing extensive tests on this.

They probably just saw that the official RHEL6 installer had an upgrade 
option, tested on a basic RHEL5 installation, saw that the server was 
rebooting correctly and thought that everything was OK.

They are to blame but I think Red Hat shouldn't allow something 
unsupported and clearly broken!
