Yup. Of course, then you'd have files that are removed from OTRS since 2.3.4 still in your installation. But I guess it is the best you could do and it would work.
(please don't forget to follow the other steps from UPGRADING such as the database update)

But if anyone has a better idea, I'd be open for that!

So what about this?

I will backup (re-tar) /opt/otrs-2.3.4, and then remove the symlink,
and rename it to /opt/otrs

Then untar the the new 2.4.2 into that same directory?

Is that what you are expecting basically?
