 Of course 'preupgrade' is supported.  Look here:  
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PreUpgrade   And after completing 
the whole process all the way from F7 up to Fedora 10 everything is 
working fine.

My "Is this normal?" comment was about seeing all the F9 updates coming 
in from the "updates-newkey" repo.  That didn't look normal.  And as 
clarified in a later post, that was due to a security incident that 
occurred which required new repo keys.

Gerry
