They are indeed a good place to start, but they
only work under ideal conditions.
No, the upgrade plugin and the procedures are designed to work under "normal"
or "ordinary" conditions.
So far I've upgraded 9 systems. Aside from 2 issues, one BZ that was fixed during
the beta phase the another an issue with an malformed rpmfusion package, they all
upgraded without issue and without having to use any additional parameters.
When you start always updating from "testing" repos you are doing things which
aren't "normally" done. You should expect to have issues which others
won't have.
The set of instructions you've given are unique to your way of doing things. In
particular,
enabling *all* repos. The majority of people won't do that. Some less informed
folks
may just blindly do it without regards to what may happen.
Frankly, if you're always updating from testing you should enable those repos in
their
respective repo files. That way they will be used on updates as well as upgrades.
