who talks about a "entire new distribution"?

Fedora dist-upgrades are routine tasks with YUM here for years in 
production so there is no "new distribution" nor a real need for going 
offline and any Fedora release not be able to get upgraded online would 
be a large step backwards

more than 20 servers installed in 2008 with F9 and now on F21 while 
fully online and just a reboot like a ordinary kernel update - that's 
how things have to work
