Did it 3 times so far, one box was rawhide for months prior. No problems
so far.

After you do the upgrade, list all your RPMs by time:
rpm -qa --qf \
"%{INSTALLTIME} %{INSTALLTIME:date} %{NAME} %{VERSION} %{RELEASE}\n" \
| sort -r
With that list, force an RPM upgrade of any that predate the FC1
install.
Then reconcile your rpomsave/rpmnew files
