Rahul is a smart guy who is very plugged into Fedora development: if he
was moved to reply it is almost certainly worth something.

For the sake of future searchers to nobody in particular I note you can
also use yum to upgrade to a new version of Fedora.  I've done it by
meddling with the URLs in /etc/yum.repos.d/ but you can maybe do it
cleaner by installing fedora-release package from the new version, which
should set up /etc/yum.repos.d/* to point to the new repos.  After that
a yum update should be comparing what you have already to what the new
version has and downloading accordingly.
