For well over 99% of the people using Fedora this is a non-issue because it Just Doesn't Happen for them. You might as well say that Fedora isn't reliable because there's the possibility that you'll turn your computer on and it won't boot, even though it always booted before. Nothing is perfect, including both fedup and yum and the fact that it didn't go well for you isn't proof that they're no good, especially when counted against the tens of thousands of Fedora users who've used it without any problems. As I've mentioned before, I also follow the fedoraforum and there have been very, very few threads about upgrade issues for F19, especially when you compare it to the constant complaints about upgrading to F18 or, for that matter, getting it installed and working.
