Well, pots and kettles aside:

I just ran the update. The only thing I'm curious about:

1. Fedup did not start any kind of GUI. It stayed in command-line prompt 
mode. Actually that was an improvement: I could better watch its 
progress. But I wasn't sure whether that was what the maintainers wanted 
to achieve.

2. After I ran the suggested yum distro-sync cleanup command, my system 
rolled fedup back to version 0.7, along with some fifteen other packages 
that apparently were no up to the latest-and-greatest in the F20 stable 
repos. AFAIK, Im not missing anything, but I'm not sure I would know 
about that.
