The truly scary part for me is that I might have missed one little thing that will come back and bite me. I have two RedHat boxes because a vendor requires them for software[1]. Luckily, neither needs to service internet clients.

However, I do end up with surprising mystery issues. Just got a rule for logrotate needing to be able to reload some daemon... a year into this experiment. Wut?
