I can't say specifically.  I just know that I heard of lots of users 
having trouble using yum or up2date to upgrade their box from one older 
versions of RH to FC1.  All I was saying with my original post, is that 
I see easy continuous upgrades between Fedora releases as a priority.  I 
want to be confident that I can upgrade from FC1 -> FC2 without causing 
major problems, and minimal downtime.

Is there an upgrade support policy?  Something like, every FC release is 
supposed to cleanly upgrade from the previous release.  Upgrading from 
anything older than the previous release is not supported.
