This discussion might be more appropriate for the fedora-test-list

Chances for success probably depend heavily on how many non-Fedora
add-on packages you have added.  If you've got "generic" FC1, upgrade
would probably work well.  If you have a lot of FreshRPMS, Dag, Livna,
ATrpms, ... it will be problematic.

If you try it, put the following in a script.  After upgrading run it,
and look at everything in the output file after "basesystem".  These are
the obsolete packages left from before the upgrade.  Blow them away if
possible (suggest using "yum remove <package>" to handle dependencies)
or upgrade by find FC2T1 compatible packages or building from SRPMs. 
Livna reportedly has some FC2T1 packages now - haven't gotten around to
trying them.  Had pretty good luck rebuilding FreshRPMS packages for
DVD, mp3, TV card, ...
