I suppose you could finesse it if you really, really wanted to upgrade 
FC4 -> CentOS in place. Me, I'd rather back up, nuke, and repave.

If you wait a couple more weeks, CentOS 5 will be generally available. 
It'll have a looonnnggg shelf life; you won't have to do another 
general upgrade for years.
