Upgrade vs. Wipe - From a Yum point of view

This seems like a fairly obvious question, but I have not seen any reference to it as yet. I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill. Please let me know if it has already been addressed.

I am running several Fedora boxes here. One, a laptop, I upgraded first. Another, a desktop, I let the installaer wipe and re-load. On the upgraded unit, I noitced no change , at least not significant, to the yum.conf file. I found this a little concerning as I thought it would have to point to different repositories. I really became concerned after looking at the wiped box. I noticed its yum setup was completely different, in that the yum file is smaller, and the repositories are broken into sub-directories.

My question is, should I let the laptop that I upgraded, keep updating daily like it has been, or do I need to make some modifications to the yum.conf to bring it in accordance with FC3 policies and repositories?

Thanks again for the help. I am very impressed with this distribution.

Dave
