Another point worth noting for anyone wanting to try something like this
is that SELinux and chroots don't mix well (files won't get labwlled
correctly, transitions won't happen, even if you have /proc and /selinux
mounted in the chroot). Using anaconda is definitely the best upgrade
method (and hence is more "supported" than any other method).
