I think this is the rationale: upgrading from FCn to FCn+1 (i.e. from one final release to the next final release) is, of course, fine; upgrading from FCn to FCn+1-testX is fine because it tests the upgrade process; however, upgrading from any FCn-testX is strongly discouraged because test releases are by their nature bug-ridden and the upgrade process is specifically only tested for final release to (proposed) next final release. If you do the latter your machine may end up in some kind of borked state, which you will likely report to the list and on bugzilla and no one will really be able to determine if your problems are genuine ones which may potentially affect non-test-release users or whether they were specifically caused by your upgrading from a test release to a final release. Of course there is nothing to stop you doing what you proposed, but if things don't work out right then please don't post about them or buzilla them before trying to reproduce them on a clean install or supported upgrade.
