Supported? Beats me. It's certainly documented:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/ch-upgrading-system....
A tool like this might be the friendliest long term solution if you
could design something that would do a backup of your existing system to
an external drive or a network destination in a format that could either
be used to restore the existing system or as the source for migrating
users, data, and non-packaged applications (i.e. your /opt and
/usr/local/) back into a freshly installed newer version. That would
require some additional space somewhere but could be pretty flexible and
would eliminate any partitioning dependencies.
Sounds good to me. Not sure that this resolves the original poster's
situation/suggestion though.
