Yeah, while I have done done FTP upgrades, it doesn't feel very safe, because downloading packages while the upgrade process is running is quite risky. A network problem or an incomplete mirror, and the upgrade will stop in the middle. It would be better if the upgrade was like a yum upgrade (download first, then upgrade) but with the additional Anaconda upgrade magic. Could it simply use /mnt/sysimage/var/cache/anaconda for that purpose? Then they could even by pre-downloaded by the running OS before rebooting into the Anaconda GRUB entry. If Anaconda needs to for example do an ext3 to ext4 conversion, it can mount /mnt/sysimage, download everything it will need for the entire upgrade process, umount, do the conversion and the mount it again for the RPM upgrades.
