But when I update a package now in FC6, the package in F7 will be older. Sure, 
if one does not change anything, i.e. not updating a FC6 package in the FC6 
lifetime, that there will be no problems with the upgrade path.

What "cp op" are you talking about? Afaik there will be only a copy of some 
packages in "devel" to F7 (the packages, that are tagged f7-final).
