Oh! ok.....that explains it! So then theoretically I should be able to
use the fedup-cli command and upgrade my system, without having anything
change except the versions of the applications installed on my
system....right? And the things that are "deprecated" (no longer
suppoerted?) will be replaced with things that ARE?...(and I know these
might sound like "stoopid"questions, but when I went from F17 to F18 I
had nothing to lose...the system was brand new...and I had been running
17 for about a month or two but now?...I have amassed a LOT of stuff!)
