I may be wrong, but... . When the distribution developers decide that some package should not be used and will want to get rid of it from the whole package pool they will mark it obsolete. They may provide some replacement. "Update" will leave the packet as it was on your system. Upgrade will delete such packages and possibly install replacements.

Hi,
I notice that CENTOS has a yum upgrade and update option. The man pages say that upgrade is the same as update with the obsolete option on. What is the obsolete option? I do not really understand the man page's description of it.
