Point taken - there are few details available (that I'm aware of) which
describe how any upgrades will work for F18. How about:

A clean, fully updated default installation (done with any official
install method) of the previous stable Fedora release must be
upgradable via any officially supported upgrade mechanism. The upgraded
system must meet all release criteria.
