Sometimes people change the former to allow 3rd party applications such as Oracle to install because they check the file.  Usually what is in /etc/issue (for RHEL at least) isn't checked so it often has the correct information even if /etc/redhat-release has been changed.

Yes. In fact I did an upgrade to 4.9 just before rebooting to do the
upgrade. Neither file has been altered by anyone other than RPM.
