Need more information.
Could it be?

No. In that comment I'm talking about what happens to the bootloader
once anaconda has fired up and started running the upgrade - what
anaconda does to the bootloader config. If you don't get an 'upgrade to
fedora 17' entry at all after preupgrade first stage, that's some kind
of bug in preupgrade itself: preupgrade has failed to modify the
existing bootloader config to add the entry.
No, that is not the case. See above. The issues with old
kernel sticking
around after upgrade were already known and reported before
release.
The #820351 case is fundamentally more or less impossible to
solve
entirely, outside of sticking Epochs in the kernel package. So
there was
no point holding up the release for that. The #820340 case is
specific
to preupgrade and isn't a showstopper, so we didn't hold the
release for
that one either. There is an upgrade currently in testing that
ought to
fix it.
Please apologize me, but if #820340 was not a showstopper, so which
bug should be a showstopper? I am very disappointed with that, because
preupgrade is the official supported way to upgrade Fedora versions
It doesn't stop you from doing a successful upgrade. All it does is stop
you from shutting down cleanly, once.
