Although it is not too early to be considering the migration to FC2 when
it's final release comes out.  Because FC will only release security updates
for FC1 for 2-3 months after FC2 comes out.

So far, I've always done a clean install when upgrading RH during major
releases (7.3 -> 8 -> 9) and I imagine that I'll want to do a clean install
of FC2 as well.  For those who *can't* do the clean install, however, I
can't help but imagine a nice, clean HOWTO might be in order.
