I've been trying to work with the packaging folks and the fedup
maintainer, but right now it's looking infeasible to do a
non-productized (F20) upgrade to a Productized F21. People who want
Workstation are going to have to do a clean install. People upgrading
from F20 will end up with non-productized F21 (equivalent to a Spin).
I need to follow up on the original devel thread about this.
Basically, the fedup maintainers don't want to spend effort on a
one-time upgrade feature, particularly with so little time before
release.
