I'm pretty sure the former is supported--the goal is always to support
upgrading to what will become FC(x+1). Of course, what do you mean by
"support"? Anaconda doesn't outright prevent you from doing any
upgrades, so all upgrades are "supported" in that sense.

"supported" how?
If I can't update from FC3RC1 to FC3 it should be considered as a bug.
If after an update from FC1 to FC3RC1 there still bugs, they should be
considered as confirmed bugs. Fedora should not request to do a fresh
install to confirm the bug.
These are test releases.
I know.
The goal is always to have
upgrades work, especially as we get closer to a release, but there
will be bugs in test releases that cannot be solved always without a
fresh install (unless you know how to fix the issues manually
yourself). An example of this is package version downgrades.
After rc1, fedora should not downgrade package. Fedora is freeze since
Test 3.
I am not requesting for a "strong" support. Information in the release
note to update from FC3RC(x) to FC3 is enough (perhaps with some "rpm -U
--oldpackage :-)).
