I don't like arguments about terms. They generally provide no solution
to original problem. I used term upgrade (without 'from .. to ..'
construction) because I can type yum upgrade in my shell to - do what?
To upgrade to the next release? Please remove upgrade option from yum or
don't tell me that I misused this term.

Right now I don't care F17 is EOL. I have two or more months to upgrade
some of my systems to f18 or f19. Now, F17 is perfectly legal version so
I don't know why should I be the only person thinking about installing
latest packages for that particular version of Fedora.

upgrade - Is the same as the update command with the --obsoletes flag
set. See update for more details.
