Haven't done a suse upgrade in a long time, so I can't comment too

CentOS X.y to CentOS X.(y+n) should be perfectly reliable on a live
system. CentOS X.y to CentOS (X+1).z should also be perfectly doable,
but is likely not quite as smooth (particularly if any 3rd-party
packages are installed), and might better be done using the installer's
upgrade functionality.
