Okay, I've dug around and not seen anything like an answer. So I'm asking the list. Will there be a way to upgrade to Fedora 10 (for instance) from F9 via yum/PackageKit/sacrifical lamb? I am well aware of the difficulties of this, so I don't need a sermon on that, but I've got several Ubuntu users I maintain and their upgrade via apt-get is as smooth as I"ve seen.

Their official upgrade uses a wrapper too.

I'm aware it uses a wrapper, but it's still done (at least the downloading, dependency solving) while you are using the system.

I know Fedora isn't Ubuntu, but seriously, this would be a big deal for those of use with a ton of Fedora boxes and don't want to sneakernet or PXEboot the systems.

Look at preupgrade.

This is actually very cool.  How well does it work?
