This idea falls apart pretty quickly depending on what is being upgraded. Looking at the devel list, for example, Python is going to be upgraded in FC2. Yum is based on Python, and Yum needed recompiled for the new version. Now with an Anaconda based install who cares. You aren't using the installed system for anything during the upgrade process. However, if you are trying to use the Python tools to upgrade the system you are going to see major headaches. People have done this in the past with other updates (8 -> 9 or 9 -> FC1), but it has always been on the assumption of "if it breaks, you get to keep the pieces". -- William Hooper
