I made the jump via preupgrade and had quite a bit of trouble. A number
of packages didn't get upgraded while some of their dependencies did,
including several that had strict version deps which should have
prevented this.

I ended up with a system that was effectively unusable until I followed
it with a 'yum distro-sync'.

For those wondering "where are the BZs", there was too much wrong in my
system for me to be able to get a graphical environment to log into
Bugzilla until after the distro-sync, at which point I no longer had
access to the data I would need to file meaningful bug reports.
