i had enough anaconda upgrades which failed to boot after that
by such things like missing initrd, missing rub-entry and so
on to have learend i want a upgrade where i can VERIFY all this
basic stuff, fix things, cleanup configurations, package-cleanup
and AFTER THAT i reboot the machine

guess - since i do it this way i survived calculated more
than 300 dist-upgares with yum and not a single one had
any problem coming up again, said that: from FC7 until F18
und the oldest setups are started with FC8 and now F18
