Well, F10 ->F11 worked fine for me. However, I let F10 update itself to F11. 
I was prompted that there was a new version of Fedora available and did I 
want to install it? I allowed Fedora to upgrade itself and everything went 
smoothly. I have a total of 3 HDDs in this system and do NOT have a 
standard layout.

So, I think the phrase YMMV is appropriate here. That being said, I think 
that, yes, there may be some things that break in an upgrade like this, but 
it should be relatively easy to fix, I would think. Common sense says to 
back up any crucial config files in case they are overwritten.
