Yeah. I have one system where I run rawhide, and I leap releases for
everything else -- but, usually I accept that I'm going to reinstall. I
don't think Fedora (or Red Hat) have *ever* promised that an upgrade from
anything but the previous release will work.

I'm very much in favor of changing that given what you say above, but I
think maybe that in itself is a Feature.
