Along with this I think that we need to put something in the release
notes, possibly in the installer section. 

Some along the lines of what is already on this[1] page should be
sufficient.

"Beginning with Fedora 18 Beta, a new upgrade tool fedup has been
introduced, replacing older PreUpgrade. FedUp currently only supports
Fedora 17 -> Fedora 18 upgrades. If you want to upgrade Fedora 16, you
need to go through Fedora 17 as an intermediary step. More information
about the process [see the Install Guide]."
