I agree.
The current way to upgrade is not bullet-proof, but fedup is officially
supported and generally have good results (I've performed dozens of
upgrades with it and never ran into serious issues).
I think some GUI for fedup would be fairly simple: just a progress bar
with some expandable "Details" field where output of fedup would be
printed.
