The change from python 2.6 to python 2.7 may be holding you up if you have 
packages installed that haven't been recompiled for python 2.7 in F14 
yet, or if you have other packages that use python that aren't in F14. The 
output from yum update will tell you what dependencies are holding you 
back.
