I would tend to doubt that. I was pretty much dead in the water with a
system that was setup last August and I updated to updates.newkey and
after that, Fedora 9 might as well have been EOL because I couldn't
update it. I did download and install yum from F10 and it's updating as
I write this but most people are never gonna be able to do that.

This is the type of thing that you can't do mid-release unless you are
absolutely sure it will work.
