Major When using 'group' way of update/upgrade of EAP between version 7.1 and 7.2:
yum groupupdate jboss-eap7 or yum update @jboss-eap7
the dependencies are not resolved correctly. Only base group packages are marked to be updated - 'eap7-artemis-native-wildfly' and 'eap7-wildfly', nothing else:

Although, when I perform simple 'yum update', I can see that all relevant EAP7.2 packages are selected to be updated:
- Install 8 Packages (+74 Dependent packages)
- Upgrade 308 Packages
At the moment, we don't have specified exact way, how customer should update between EAP versions in our documentation but I believe we should unify behaviour of these two approaches (simple update vs groupupdate).
