For FESCO meeting:
I do not know where things stand with regard to being able to perform
an upgrade installation from FC6 to FC7 but for me this is very very
important. I have a lot of FC6 servers where I have configured
literally over a hundred packages. The only way that I would be able to
migrate these servers to FC7 is by a yum (or other tool) upgrade path.
A complete reinstall is out of the question. And if that is necessary
my servers will be stuck on FC6 forever. Also I have other servers that
I want to migrate to new 64-bit architecture from 32-bit. I have not
found a documented, automated way in which I can do this so that all the
32-bit packages are replaced with their 64-bit counterparts. These are
some things that I would like to see discussed.

<pre wrap=""><!---->I see Jesse has addressed some of this but one other thing to keep in
mind when writing a draft for FESCo is to explain why the upgrade must
be a yum upgrade vs anaconda upgrade. </pre>

Preferable would be a non-GUI upgrade path that could be performed
remotely and has the ability to restart where it left off if something
were to interrupt the process. I would not like to experience the
broken updates problem we had with i586 kernel and others during FC6
where I ended up with a bunch of duplicated packages after the update
process was restarted and completed.<br>
