Following suggestions in this list, I'm trying to use yum distro-sync to update a Fedora 21 beta laptop to Fedora 21, but yum wants to remove my running kernel (3.17.4-302.fc21.x86_64) and downgrade 87 packages. Should I go ahead with this?

I did it, and things worked out fine. In fact, there was no Virtualbox kernal module for my "updated" beta kernel, but there is one for my sync'd kernel. I'm a happy camper.
YMMV, of course.

It did, actually:
Transaction check error: file /usr/lib/firewalld/services from install of firewalld-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts with file from package firewalld-filesystem-0.3.13-1.fc21.noarch file /usr/lib/firewalld from install of firewalld-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts with file from package firewalld-filesystem-0.3.13-1.fc21.noarch file /usr/lib/firewalld/icmptypes from install of firewalld-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts with file from package firewalld-filesystem-0.3.13-1.fc21.noarch file /usr/lib/firewalld/zones from install of firewalld-0.3.12-1.fc21.noarch conflicts with file from package firewalld-filesystem-0.3.13-1.fc21.noarch
No harm done, but I wonder what to try next.

Bummer. I don't remember what my firewalld was in the beta, but I had been updating regularly so I assume I downgraded from 3.13 to 3.12. In any case, I'm now at 3.12. I know that "hit 'yes' and pray" is probably not the best admin strategy, but when it comes to these upgrades that's pretty much how I roll, and it usually works out.

After some tinkering I am now at 3.12, too.

I don't get it. I installed brand new fedora 21 beta in this partition. I also did the yum distro-sync and it downgraded 11 packages..
