Is it safe to delete this directory (given that rebooting does not)?
I checked at home and my F21->F22 left that present. I deleted it:
rm -rf /var/lib/system-upgrade
rm -f /system-upgrade
and rebooted with no ill effects so my guess is, yes, it's OK to delete
it once you've confirmed you're running OK in the upgraded environment.
