You may try to install the F13 rpms on your F12.
Then:
1) maybe you discover that dependencies are unsolvable (new fundamental libs,
RPM version, ...)
2) maybe it installs but has some kind of problem running
3) maybe it installs and runs perfectly

Option 1) is easily discovered before you do any modification to your
system; very safe.

Option 2) is quite unprobable, IMHO. Reversable with rpm -e, rpm -i.

Option 3) has a reasonable probability.

I would spend a few minutes downloading the F13 rpms and attempting
some "rpm --test -Uhv" commands.
