And furthermore, the fedora-release RPM is updated. Which means that
unless you've made changes to the repo configuration files manually,
you should be seamlessly transferred to the Fedora 12 branch. IIRC
you have to take manual action to stay on the Rawhide branch after
that point.
That's my recollection, the whole cutover process works perfectly without
intervention, unless you want to continue to drag yourself down the bleeding edge.
