Given I flagrantly disregard the recommendation to upgrade in place ;), it's very unlikely anything obsolete is present on any of the servers. I generate an RPM package which gets installed on them, and all remnants of the previous one are removed.

I generally do a diff of the source code from the version I'm running to the new version to install, review changes, and update config if necessary. Someone I used to work with who was also one of my professors during my undergraduate degree liked to say "we prefer forward adaptability to backward compatibility" :). Obviously this approach isn't for everyone 8-/.

Thanks…
