Step back a second... take a deep breath. Please realise that this is an open community forum. The ability to speak and to give suggestions as to resolutions and workarounds is not dependant on how knowledge the person giving the suggestions is. Nor can it be assumed that anyone making suggestions as to workarounds and resolutions on the list, speaks for the maintainer or developer of the affected package or for fedora leadership. As valuable as community input on problems can be, the same community can be exceedingly unvaluable as well. Real fixes concerning upgrade issues come from developers and maintainers via bug reports and interacting with the package maintainers and developers via bugzilla. Take the comments in this list with a grain of salt, and focus more on the comments from developers in bugzilla about your upgrade and install bugs. I will point you to the fedora core list of objectives, for reassurance that smooth upgrades from core release to core release is considered important as a matter of fedora core policy. While I personally avoid doing upgrades and I personally prefer fresh installs, you shouldn't take my personal preference nor any other community member's personal preference as a statement of upgrade policy by fedora core. It's important to be able to seperate random community input from project policy. -jef
