Already done. As of Fedora 10, PackageKit will offer a Fedora 10 -> 
Fedora 11 upgrade when Fedora 11 is released. This will be done from now 
on. It uses preupgrade for the magic.

I've been using yum, and now preupgrade, to go from Fedora to Fedora for 
multiple releases now. I've never had to reinstall or download an ISO.
