Yeah, I'm pretty much in agreement with you here. Regardless of which
method is used by most users, I'm wary of leaving a new upgrade method
for final instead of getting most of the bugs out in beta even if that
does mean that we slip a bit.
I'm not sure how to get around this risk unless we require 'all' to
work for beta or pretend that we control which upgrade methods are
'recommended'. Any suggestions?
I don't see this as a practical problem. There is no danger that we're
somehow going to overturn years of Fedora history and declare between
now and F18 GA that yum is a 'recommended upgrade method'.
