Since the release interval between releases as so short (FC1 -> FC2 = 5Months) has any thought been given to maybe putting a structure in place that would allow initial installs to be performed by downloading the major release ISO's and then from there simply have a rolling upgrade meaning that as updates and upgrades happen the community can simply use YUM or a similar app to stay current.. I know that YUM can already perform and upgrade or update and most times it is sucessful but if the development community had this type of functionality in mind it would mean that the short release cycle would not be as much of a crisis for people using Fedora.. This is how "One Base Linux" appear to do it..
While this is one way of testing upgrading (via apt/yum/whatever), it's also not testing the new/newer/upgraded installer (anaconda) and how a new install or upgraded install works from the get go.
