Fedora does not have as long between releases, and as much serious
system reconfiguration between releases, as between SL or the upstream
RHEL releases. I'd really encourage doing backups of old systems and
rebuilding from scratch, rather than trying to do upgrades in place.
Third party packages, in particular, are likely to leave behind
mismatched components or configurations that will suck engineering
hours to find and clear.
