For the record, I spent an hour or two looking at this, and it seems 
like it'd be *almost* easy to make fedup do distro-sync right now - I 
had a quick hack version working in a simple test - but due to issues 
with the organization of the necessary code in yum, it may not be 
practical to do it unless a) we can get some code moved around in yum 
or b) we port fedup to DNF. See:
