Since the release interval between releases as so short (FC1 ->

place that would allow initial installs to be performed by downloading
the major release ISO's and then from there simply have a rolling
upgrade meaning that as updates and upgrades happen the community can
simply use YUM or a similar app to stay current.. I know that YUM can
already perform and upgrade or update and most times it is sucessful but
if the development community had this type of functionality in mind it
would mean that the short release cycle would not be as much of a crisis
for people using Fedora.. This is how "One Base Linux" appear to do it..
While this is one way of testing upgrading (via apt/yum/whatever), it's
also not testing the new/newer/upgraded installer (anaconda) and how a
new install or upgraded install works from the get go.
