I've been doing this since F-1, and I have one box that's been done that
way since F-3.   Basically, read the release notes, prepare what you have
to, generally db dumps, etc, and do the above.  With very few exceptions,
it works very well.  Still not "officially supported", though I like
preupgrade, too, even though it's not the same goal at all.
