The sample size of people in this thread isn't really enough to
extrapolate to 'most people', IMHO.

Yum upgrades work for advanced users who can troubleshoot problems they
run into. Fedup should work for less advanced users who simply want to

Nothing is perfect and upgrades are a difficult problem due to all the
moving parts.

Whichever method you decide to use, I'd advise having a good backup
before starting.
