I was not asked any questions when I re-booted after running preupgrade.
The system immediately launched into an enormous updating saga.

Normally, if I do a clean install I am asked if I want to format /boot
or leave it as it is. I always choose the latter.
This leaves old kernels in place, though it does remove reference to them
from grub.conf, IIRC.
However, it leaves the old grub.conf as grub.conf.rpmsave ,
and it is easy to merge the two.

Yes, everything seemed to end normally.
But you seem to be saying that what did occur
is what should have occurred.
I'm saying that it doesn't occur with a clean install;
the old system (vmlinuz, initrd and /lib/modules) is left in place.
