i too do not understand why YUM is not the primary supported method

* it works much more relieable in most acses
* it gives better control

the arguments "after released updates you do not have a tested
migration path" is invalid - two months after the release you
also do NOT have a tested migration path because you got updates
for the previews version - this affects preupgrade also as update
with DVD

with the DVD method you even have NO WAY to fix issues because
the ISO images keep static and the installed OS gets updates

instead waste time for preupgrade or whatever replacemanet the
time could be spent for improvements in the yum upgrade-howto
