    Or better say, fedup remains as tool
      for upgrades.

      No, definitely not.

        
        preupgrade-assistant is only the tool which informs user or
        admin

        what was change against the newest version and recommend actions
        for inplace upgrades.

        But as I mentioned. Currently now it's not available in Fedora.

        
        Preupgrade-assistant doesn't modify system at all.

                In
                  RHEL we are using preupgrade-assistant [1] which does
                  this work.

                  If user write a check script then it will inform user
                  that upgrade is not supported.

                  The check script can also inform user that e.g.
                  mariadb changed structure

                  and it's required to execute a convert script or
                  whatever.

                  
                  Currently now preupgrade-assistant is not available in
                  Fedora.

                  I discussed with Honza Horak (team lead of databases)
                  about this issues

                  and can be used in this case.

                
                So preupgrade was replaced by fedup in Fedora and
                  now you want to introduce another tool called
                  preupgrade-assistant which is entirely different?  
                  Can't you folks get together and focus on one tool,
                  whatever that is?
