IIRC, Fedora's pre-upgrade was failing because "/boot"'s default size
is/was 200MB and the workaround was to clear out some space by keeping
just one kernel and removing the "hidden space" allocated to root on
"/boot".
We have to hope that this'll be taken into account and "/boot"'s
default set larger if pre-upgrade's coming to CentOS 6. (Would
pre-upgrade be to go from CentOS 6 to CentOS 7?!)
