Basically, no: all fedup does is install RPMs¹.

The only fedup-specific thing I can think of in that area is dracut's
ifcfg module, which writes /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*² if
you bring up the network in initrd³ - but those always have
"ONBOOT=yes", so that's probably not it.

But: since each individual package upgrade can run up to 12 scriptlets⁴,
a lot happens during fedup that isn't actually *in* fedup⁵. So it's
likely you'll need to poke around in the scriptlets to see if anything
in there might be doing anything weird with connection files.

¹ Okay, actually it downloads RPMs and boot images, then sets up the
boot images, *then* installs RPMs. But that's all. More or less.
² Actually it writes config files in into /run/initramfs/state, and
fedora-import-state.service copies those files into the root filesystem
once it's mounted read-write. Details, details..
³ Note that this is the fedup initrd, not your normal initrd; see note 1

⁵ Yes, this is part of why upgrades take so long.
