Right, for 18 the 'default installation' wording would work because
there was still a 'default installation' of Fedora 17, but it wouldn't
work after 18, so we should change it.

"It must be possible to successfully complete an upgrade from a fully
updated installation of the previous stable Fedora release with the
'minimal' package set or the package set for a release-blocking desktop,
using any officially recommended upgrade mechanism. The upgraded system
must meet all release criteria."
