"The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade installation from a clean, fully updated default installation of the previous stable Fedora release, either via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually" I think we first need to get established if Fedora officially "supports" upgrades now. If it does we need create and add several upgrade test cases and to do so we need to know what "default installation" is. What packages that installation contains and since Releng needs to provide us with that list it would be good if they document and explain at the same time how and why they choose to make that selection the default. ( Default dvd install from my perspective should just be secure base no auto selection for the end user in the installer. ) > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Final_Release_Criteria > > they should contain everything you need to know.
