It won't put one on your system. Upgrades from a non-Productized
Fedora will remain non-Productized. It's not *less* Fedora than before.

The Products are basically a statement that "this minimal set of
packages and services are available on the system". A non-productized
Fedora install is essentially just a continuation of the classic
do-it-yourself approach that Fedora has been up to this point.

I hope that clarifies things for you.
