It is possible that some packages in the final release will be downgrades 
from what is in devel.  It is possible that some package names will 
change.  It is possible that some dependencies will not be satisfied or 
that some things will break.  That particular upgrade technique is not 
tested during QA.  IIRC, some people who upgraded from FC5Tx to FC5 that 
way had some problems.

It is also possible that you'll never run into anything broken on your 
system with your work profile.  For myself, I don't like to take the 
chance.
