Preupgrade vs other upgrade methods, caveats?

[Sergio]

Preupgrade isn't supported any more, AFAIK.
I upgraded via yum.
Apart from the usual clean up before-hand (remove uneeded packages so less to download and I also uninstalled the compiled apps and recompiled them afterwards), run rpmconf before and after the upgrade (and look at the differences), fetch all repo keys before upgrade or run the distro-sync with --nogpgcheck, just make sure to re-enable your display manager as pref.dm was removed.
In my case I had to '# systemctl enable lightdm.service'.

In my case (about ten days ago, IIRC) the X keyboard wasn't properly migrated. If it's your case just run localectl (check its options) to fix it.

Other changed configs: http://fedora.12.n6.nabble.com/HEADS-UP-several-very-old-sysconfig-files-are-being-deprecated-td4991826.html

If you use Google Chrome, you need to re-install it after the upgrade (I think it re-links with the proper libraries).

Hello everyone,
I was just wondering if there are any known downsides to upgrading via preupgrade, as opposed to using the more familiar upgrade methods (CD/DVD etc)? 
Best,
