I think we can fairly confidently discount the possibility of flames, at
least :)
upgrading via yum is not really supported - preupgrade is preferred -
but there is documentation for it on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum
including a specific section for f11->f12:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_11_-.3E_Rawhide_.28Fedora_12.29
take a gander at those before you start.
