I recently upgraded from F20 -> F21 -> F22 via dnf on two separate
machines.  So far I do not see any issues.  I cannot comment
specifically on the applications you listed.  The only gotcha was, if
you are in a multilib environment, so applications requiring 32-bit
libraries on a 64-bit install, then you might need to temporarily remove
a few of the 32-bit libraries before the upgrade can proceed.

Also beware of rebooting without looking at the transaction summary from
yum/dnf.  For one of the 4 upgrades, I overlooked the install of the
kernel failed and I could not boot with the new kernel.  It was easily
solved by booting to the old kernel and regenerating the initramfs with
dracut.

Hope this helps,

PS: don't forget to run rpmconf -a to merge your configs.
