RHEL breaks stuff between major versions as if there was no tomorrow. The good people at Red Hat do try to keep stuff stable within the same major version of RHEL, which is good for more than a decade (i.e., longer than most servers last), so upgrades from one major version to the next are rarely required. Consequently, unlike Debian, Red Hat makes no attempt to even support upgrading between major versions of RHEL.

Debian, on the other hand, makes no attempt to be RHEL. If you want that sort of stability, be a Red Hat customer; it's their business, and they're really pretty good at it.
