Hello

I m using Fedora 7 Test 2. When Fedora 7 will be released, will I have
some configuration to do in ordre to stay with it and no more using
rawhide ?

From what I understand, from response to previous similar requests
throughout the years, yum  and anaconda upgrading from Rawhide is
possible (like Rahul says) but discouraged and unsupported and may
leave a known unknown amount of rawhide cruft in your system that may
or may not cause you future grief. This is particularly the case if
package versions had to be reverted to an earlier version between test
and final. A rare event but possible.

Since the changes from test4 is supposed to be minimal, there is plan discussed on the last Fedora QA meeting on "supporting" updates from test4 to the general release of Fedora 7 to see how well this works out in practice. Reverts to an earlier version might be handled using epochs if they are really required.
