honestly: if dist-upgrade swould not work *nobody* would use Fedora for anything relevant
Fedora would be *completly* meaningless from this moment on

why?

because nobody has the time and effort to install from scratch twice a year
if he does more with his computer than click on the icons of the default
screen after login

this is not only the point for Fedora

*any* relevant software which would only work a few months would become meaningsless
expect for people which are bored and play around just for fun with no goal
