The current state of play is (taking a random kde example):
kdeutils F11 GA 4.2.2-4.fc11
kdeutils F11 Updates 4.4.0-1.fc11
kdeutils F12 GA 4.3.2-1.fc12
kdeutils F12 Updates 4.4.0-1.fc12
...so if someone tries to update from F11 (with updates) using an F12 GA
release DVD, it'll be an older version and I very much doubt you've
tested how well that works.
Poorly :-). Though KDE is far from the only problem, and that particular
upgrade didn't go nearly as bad as when I tried to go from F10+updates
to F11 (somewhat after F12 had been released).
Upgrading from {Fn with updates} to {Fn+1 without updates} is just plain
broken. That's why I usually do upgrades via yum; they tend to work better.
