I never tried.
Somebody should try and report the results.
But RPM Fusion provides everything that is needed for a proper upgrade
in it's repos. The release-files are also build in a way to make sure
that you use the F-10 repos automatically as soon as you upgrade
fedora-release to the one from F-10 (but that will likely only work
properly when F-10 is out or once we did some changes to our MirrorManager).
IOW: Everything should work if preupgrade does everything right. And I
suppose it will, but I'm not sure.
