How to handle upgrades to Fedora 21

There has been some discussion in various forums lately about how we
will handle fedup upgrades from Fedora 20 to Fedora 21 products.

Several suggestions have been made that warrant discussion:

 * Upgrades from Fedora 20 remain non-productized. They pick up
fedora-release-standard and upgrade only their existing packages.
 * Upgrades from Fedora 20 become Fedora Workstation systems and have
the appropriate environment group installed on them. This mechanism
will not remove any existing packages.
 * Fedup should provide a selection for which Product (or
non-productized) version to upgrade to.

I am personally opposed to forcing all upgrades to become Fedora
Workstation (even if in general the majority of existing deployments
are desktop/laptop machines).

I think either the first option (easy) or the last option (requiring
fedup changes) will be preferable. In the selectable case, I think
that fedup should operate as a non-productized upgrade unless
otherwise specified at the command-line. If we pass --server,
- --workstation, --cloud, it should upgrade existing packages as well as
installing the complete set of the @^fedora-$PRODUCT-environment comps
environment group.
