An upgrade is an upgrade... a reasonable comment, I think, by Chris.
And, in fact, I *did* do an upgrade.
I downloaded rhgb, and it *now* does a graphical boot. I probably prefer
seeing the raw text, but that's a separate issue. I think a graphical
boot option is a "plus".
One note...the install (upgrade) process *does* talk about the graphical
boot. I think it's a bit misleading to feature that when it's not there
"by default" with an upgrade. I have to think many, many people will be
doing upgrades rather than new installs.

Remember, upgrading is exactly what it is, upgrading. It doesn't
(AFAICT) install extra packages, unless one of the upgraded packages has
a dependency that must be met, therefore installs the package. rhgb
doesn't exist on 9, so it doesn't get installed. And just because the
/etc/sysconfig/init got updated, is only because it already existed and
the new package included the graphical boot code.
