I'm perplexed by the posts I am seeing regarding F12 upgrades.  Lots of
upgrade issues and darn faint praise as far as I can tell ?
AFAICT, almost all of the upgrade issues are related to preupgrade
demands on /boot's sizes ;-)

I don't think so. The list reports seem to center on the big scary
warning about /boot size but that warning is intentional.

In my case, anaconda literally hung at the end of the process and I have
seen another report that claimed the same thing.
Define 'hung'. Was the scrollbar moving at all.

Generally, hangs like that are often indicative of a hardware problem,
rather than the software one. Especially the tail end of an Anaconda
upgrade, which is disk intensive.

hung as in...

- no disk activity
- unable to switch to virtual console<Control><Alt><F2>  (# or F3/F4)
- no visible activity on screen
Virtual console switching is driven by the kernel. I can think of only three
possible causes that have this result:

1) A kernel bug

2) A bug in x.org (including the x.org driver for your video card)

3) A hardware problem

I agree and I lost all opportunity to debug when I pushed the reboot
button but that to me meant hung.

Install did succeded once for me, without any hang after 3-4 hangs at the end of installation. Now i have to hard reboot the system now and then, the issue in logged up as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539494.
