It would certainly be nice if yum handled this change sensibly, but I
don't think there is a requirement for it to work, because the only
supported means of upgrading from Fedora version to Fedora version is via
the anaconda installation process. Changes within alphas and betas are
only relevant if they reflect problems that will occur in supported
upgrades between full Fedora versions.
However if yum can't handle the update, then the issue should certainly be
mentioned in the release notes (the kernel change should probably be
mentioned anyway).
