I tried F9 -> F10 and F10 -> F11.

The former was quite a pain. Lots of work to make everything work.

The latter passed great, except for one BUG in anaconda when it tried
to start a swap partition that was actually a swapfile on a different
partition then /. Besides that, preupgrade did the job quite well.

I I'm very happy on how the upgrade process has evolved in the last release.
