How 3rd party software handles an upgrade is 100% a function of said 3rd
party software, not Fedora.

As an example, the FC2 test releases have X.org instead of XFree86.  Any
3rd party software the mistakenly has a dependency on XFree86 instead of
the actual files it needs will fail a dependency check.  How is this
Fedora Core's fault?
