Fedora officially only supports upgrades from a*fully-upgraded Fedora*

recommended approach as it requires only a single change (the added
Requires:) to fedora-release to make it work. The end-result of this

I tried the upgrade during weekend. And I tried to simulate this requires during upgrade.
The problem is that once you get fedora-release-standard, you will get other *-standard (e.g.
firewalld-config-standard) and there is no way to switch -workstation (or other product) unless you use 'rpm --nodeps', which is pretty dirty hack.

If you use this Requires, then at the same time please provide users migration tool product2product. Or at least standard2product.
