I don't like arguments about terms.

like "yum does not solve dependencies" instead
"can't upgrade" while it is pretty clear that
such dep-problems in case of a normal update
are going away as they are coming while problems
with a dist-upgrade may need a specific bugreport
They generally provide no solution to original problem
no, but if a topic is started with a clear subject
it is more likely that you get the right answers
especially if you strip the used command in your
initial post
I used term upgrade (without 'from .. to ..'
construction) because I can type yum upgrade in my shell to - do what?
To upgrade to the next release? Please remove upgrade option from yum or
don't tell me that I misused this term.
there is a difference between a command-line option and
the intention of what you like to do, the subject sounds
like a failing dist-upgrade with yum
Right now I don't care F17 is EOL. I have two or more months to
upgrade
some of my systems to f18 or f19. Now, F17 is perfectly legal version so
I don't know why should I be the only person thinking about installing
latest packages for that particular version of Fedora.
because you used the wrong term in case of humans
we can discuss this now for hours or you simply
realize that a clear subject at start would be better

From man yum:
upgrade - Is the same as the update command with the --obsoletes flag
set. See update for more details
so what
