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.
