It may work, but is not supported nor recommended.  Best to do a clean
install.  On the other hand, I have upgraded from RH73 through FC2T2 on
one machine, paying careful attention to obsolete packages, and it is
working.  Another that had a clean install of FC2T1 was completely hosed
and unbootable after an attempted update when the FC2T2 stuff was
hitting the mirrors.   Caveat tester.
