I installed from scratch on a new partition as I always do,
and had virtually no problems. I find f12 to be one of the
better releases.
My impression is all the trouble starts when you try to
upgrade in place. That isn't a process I would ever trust
to work anyway :-).

The past few upgrades, preupgrade has worked very well for me actually
with minimal interaction and only required the network stage 2 boot
because my /boot is only 100M as was the norm way back when.
Most users are not going to have a 'new partition' ready to install so
whatever works for you is not a normal user scenario.
Obviously with the rapid churn of Fedora, a simple upgrade mechanism for
users is highly desirable and when it works, it's good and when it
doesn't, hopefully it's bugzilla'd (but awfully hard to repeat or
report)
