Well, just as a data point, I can tell you that I just did a Fedora 9 to 
Fedora 10 upgrade (i.e., a real in-place upgrade, not 
wipe-and-reinstall), and it was totally painless.  Surprisingly so, in 
fact.  I just did it on a lark, wondering what would happen - I haven't 
had a lot of success with OS "upgrades", myself.  So I was a little 
surprised when it basically worked as advertised....
