Re: Is system upgrade automatic or not?

It's also worth mentioning that if some packages are retired, they will not be
available in the new Fedora version. In the old days, this would mean you
might get some old & broken packages stuck on your system; nowadays,
fedora-obsolete-packages is used to auto-remove these upon system upgrade.

Personally, I'd be *very* angry if an automatic update removed some programs I still use,
with no easy way of getting them back. (Well, you can still grab Fedora (N-1) builds
from koji and install them manually, but 1: that often doesn't work because of broken deps,
and 2: OP's concern is to have a newbie-friendly solution, which this isn't.)

A.FI.
