I got tired of all the different gotchas with upgrade utilities.  Yum
behaves in a much more consistent way, and seems more reliable to me.
These are the steps that I take:
1. init 3
2. run rpmconf to check all conf files
3. yum --releasever=<num> distro-sync
4. run rpmconf again
5. do any special changes needed for this release (e.g. when the /usr
   move happened in F18), or application specific stuff.
6. reboot

So far I have only faced problems from specific packages, not the
upgrade process.  I have used this without problems since F14 up to F20
on one machine, and since F15 to F19 on another.

Hope this helps,
