There's actually a "fedup" script as part of the package. I think we
should update the dnf-plugin-system-upgrade to Provide: fedup, and keep
the instructions the same. Rationale:

* FedUp has gotten a lot of positive press *just recently*, including this
  interview with Jim Whitehurst
  http://www.mylinuxrig.com/post/129154618674/the-linux-setup-jim-whitehurst-presidentceo

* Although the mechanisms are different, the basic concepts,
  especially from a user point of view, are very similar

* Documentation won't need (as much) updating

* fedup.sh is already done

* FedUp is an awesome name

* People get all stabby over changes. Let's save getting stabbed for
  when we really need it.
