Worst that has ever happened to me was my FC3 boot got trashed during an 
FC4 upgrade.  I ended up moving to an FC5 pre-release in order to fix 
it.  My FC5 to F8 upgrade didn't go to well either, but a few days of 
"yum update"ing each package got me back in line.  Funny thing though, 
at no time was email, httpd, or the network broken.

Previous to Fedora, there were times when an install CD wouldn't work at 
all in some RH releases, but I could always do the "rpm --update" (which 
is how I got from RH 7.3 to RH9).

I had even more fun when I upgraded an FC6.i386 laptop to F9.x86_64!  I 
used an F9 pre-release DVD, and finished with a couple of sessions 
removing all the old .i386 packages I no longer needed.

I always read the release notes before I start (including those of 
releases I'm skipping).

You think maybe I've just been lucky?   B^)
