I can confirm yum update on fedora 11 alpha completely break the system
there are tons of error about md5 pb et it break after a while
I can't boot after it
Gives message about needing fsck but doesn't explain which partition is
the pb... (I mirrored two disk and created a lvm setup on top)

I was also expecting the system to be able to automatically know that it
needed to start the update in the good order by updating yum and rpm and
autorestarting yum and rpm afterward (I think up2date used to work like
that on rhel)

by the way, got 4Giga of ram and plenty of disk so that not the pb.
