This is fine for those who understand how to do this. But for an average Joe, would you agree that this should be automated ?

How exactly?
My suggestion is earlier in this thread, perhaps you missed it ?
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-April/msg00659.html
or did you read it and found it to be unworkable ?

Documentation or running scripts manually is not automatic. Creating a new tool to do such checks after test 4 release is unworkable. Anaconda should just deal with whatever checks it needs to run and smoothen the upgrade process as it does currently. If there are more checks to be done or enhancements to be made in other programs like fdisk just suggest them in bugzilla and don't expect them for this release.

For documentation, we could really use some help. Do you want to contribute?
Yes, let me know something specific that is in need, however, I understood the rel notes process is closed, dead done.

Put simply, out of 4 machines that I have tried to put a f7 test3/4 on as an upgrade, only one machine has worked and that with test4. I assumed that with bugzilla's filed and responding to dev requests that the issues would be permanently solved (especially upgrade issues from fc6>fc7).

I reckon it would be a pretty sad state of affairs to release f7 without a nice working upgrade path from fc6, so that is why I made the suggestion, and it wouldn't muddy anaconda with something that once done perhaps wont be needed in the future. But I definitely don't understand the issue enough to even get an upgrade to work on my other three machines - I doubt less experienced users will be able to.
