Doing it incrementally, one release at a time is one thing. This should 
always work OK, modulo a few gotchas as you say. Usual going from FC(X) 
to FC(X+1) is reasonably well tested each release, if not fully recommended

Jumping straight from RH6 to FC6 is a completely different beast. I 
would be very surprised if it works at all.
