A bit > more work? Probably. But worth it in my opinion The gist of all this is that non-techies and newbs have no knowledge of such things and this makes Fedora (and perhaps all distros) rather difficult to upgrade. A script to perform the upgrade would be a great help to automate the process. The suggestion that the script would/might get it wrong, while you would/might get it right, is a a mater of personal preference.
