Yes, if you mean messages of the "this doesn't work again" variety.
That's business as usual for a fedora release. If you don't want to
participate in testing and debugging the new set of changes, just don't
upgrade until the next version is several months old. Personally I
usually wait for the k12ltsp release partly for the additional content
and partly because it is a respin that includes all the updates at the
time it is released after testing.
