I'd guess the "worst-case upgrade" is a single directory server deployment where a cross platform upgrade could imply only 1 host is available for reformat? If so, doing a "Local Source to Remote Target" migration doesn't make much sense. In such cases, an export to ldif first, backup/ reinstall / restore "/opt/fedora-ds" and then do the upgrade against the restored data seems like the best way to do things. Multi-directory-server sites probably have spare hardware kicking around - I wouldn't worry about wasting disk space ;-)
