For the past 10 years, every always do the install from scratch if jumping major version. Within the same major version, there are patches for it. So RPM/apt-get/YUM is use. I found this is less painful than upgrade.

However, SPs are minor upgrades so shouldn't have any issues at all. It should work as if I were to do update/upgrade using RPM/apt-get/YUM.
