preupgrade - how it works?

Just for my understanding how preupgrade works
1. does it download also packages from third party repositories, if 
repository is configured and used in the system, to do upgrade?
2. when doing upgrade later in version lifecycle (e.g. upgrading from 
F8->F9 at time when F10 is already released) is it downloading latest 
anaconda stage and packages from F9 updates (no update (=downloading of 
+-1GB of updates) is needed after upgrade)?

If both is Yes, that this is really the best upgrade method ever invented 
(so far :).

Thanks
