My question was to point out that using yum or apt would still leave 
problems on an upgrade.  Phil Schaffner gave the best response that 
there will be issues with any upgrade.  With all the changes, an 
upgrade may not be the best path and could take the most time.

I would love the upgrade path to be easy and painless from one version 
to another but it isn't and I have run into it from RH8 to FC1 as well 
as others around work in FC1 to FC3.  It took me almost a year to get 
some of the little headaches cleared up on my machine after an upgrade.
