Yum upgrade works for me. Live upgrades is where our focus should be 
IMO. There is one proposal that uses Anaconda to perform something 
similar (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade) but yum 
upgrades can work very well usually and even better if we spend some 
more time in testing this method of upgrade more and fixing any 
packaging problems.
