Almost all of the errata I remember reading state that the assumption

that all previous errata have been applied.
I thought FC was more than an errata update, and that Anaconda was a
little better at these things than rpm or up2date. I do recall that when
up2date was new it proved well able to break a system.
Unless the release notes say otherwise (and I have read them, though not
searching for this topic) then there's no reason to suppose it matters.
