Not really true. "yum upgrade" will be supported, but it

with a special initramfs and an additional kernel command line parameter, so
that dracut can convert your filesystem. After this filesystem conversion, yum
upgrade will work without problems.
This satisfies my needs; a reboot for conversion is not ideal, but not
the end of the world (and understandable, in this case).
There seems to be a great deal of resistance to the RPM changes that
are required, though, both for RHEL and Fedora (at least in their
respective BZ entries); will updated versions of rpm be generally
available in F16 and RHEL6 at the time of F17's release?
