My desktop is still using F19, because the power supply is flaky and I'm 
not willing to risk an upgrade until my hardware geek can replace it. 
(RSN)  The other day I needed to run yumex, to check something in the 
configuration and was astonished to find an update: adobe had packaged 
the latest flash update for F19.  Will wonders ever cease?

On a side note, I've never had fedup work properly on this box, although 
it does on my laptop.  (Preupgrade worked just fine for me.)  This time, 
I'm going to try update-fedora and see how it works.
