Yum upgrades already work in Fedora. It's not officially supported, and
problems occur more often when 3rd party repositories are in use (though
maybe less for Livna as they have an active development repository).

I did a yum upgrade from a clean F8 to Rawhide yesterday, and it worked
perfectly. 

Still though, this particular discussion is a little off-topic? Maybe this
discussion should be on f-devel-list instead?
