preupgrade is a blackbox and failed at the one try resulting
after retry it only have preupgrade in  the boot-menu - this day
i learned how to write grub-config by hand and it was the last
time touch preupgrade

additionally you have NO way to verify grub-config, initramdisk
ect. at all becasue you have no control like you have after
a yum-upgrade where you can do any cleanups before reboot

last but not least: on servers it is unusebale to run a  upgrade OFFLINE

after 160 upgrades on production servers and around 300 on test-systems
the last few years i really do not need anybody explain me again that
fedora is not for servers - i know what i am doing, i do not suggest
anybody should use it for this, i only suggest "please keep in mind
that there is a userbase which is happy and having the knowledge
to deal with yum dist-upgrades, please do not break it in future releases"
