It is possible that some packages in the final release will be downgrades
from what is in devel. It is possible that some package names will
change. It is possible that some dependencies will not be satisfied or
that some things will break. That particular upgrade technique is not
tested during QA. IIRC, some people who upgraded from FC5Tx to FC5 that
way had some problems.
It is also possible that you'll never run into anything broken on your
system with your work profile. For myself, I don't like to take the
chance.

release, anyway there are 5 CDs at least! and i only have 600 Kbps
bandwith on my ADSL :(
