There is now upgrade code in Anaconda and won't be in the future.

Prepupgrade should be probably taken out from F17 (as there's no newer
Fedora that supports preupgrade). In older releases F18 should not
be available (if it's available there).

The new tool is called fedup, it's available for Fedora 17 but only CLI
now, GUI is under development (as the whole fedup right now).

Beware, it's still not yet stable and it could lead to non-bootable
system (#873459).

Upgrade functionality is required for Beta release, see the current
two weeks slip.
