Agreed, from a stability and lifecycle perspective, CentOS is much
better than (and in my opinion an upgrade to) Fedora Core 1.  

But from a package perspective, many of the items in an up2date Fedora
Core 1 install are newer than the packages in CentOS, so they won't
upgrade via yum (since the installed Fedora Core 1 packages are already
newer).
