We can't tell people to re-install from scratch every 6 months.
What we need is an "apt-get dist-upgrade" equivalent.

i currently count 450 dist-upgrade this way and the oldest
setups are upgraded from Fedora 9 to Fedora 18 - the only
stupid is that instead spend more effort in the yum-upgrades
waste all the time with preupgrade/fedup and whatever the
next inkarnation is known
I had tried preupgrade/fedup in the past, but it tried to stuff
too many files in /boot because my root partition was encrypted,
so this method was never usable for me. The wiki mentions that
files now go into /var/lib/fedora-upgrade (which btw should really
be /var/cache/fedora-upgrade) which is only available after asking
for my disk encryption password.
I'll try it for f18->f19, and if this got fixed that is a big step
towards running fedora longterm across releases.
